…and we DARE them to put their claims in writing.

 At least two of the fourteen officers of the Executive Board have been claiming that this resolution violates the bylaws. They are hoping you haven't read Article VII, Section 2.

The Bylaws state clearly that the Executive Board is the highest authority only ‘between meetings of the membership’. That means when WE meet, WE are the highest authority.

They are trying to claim there is some loophole about 'handling' versus “processing” to block us. But we aren't asking to litigate a grievance; we are meeting to set a Policy that we get to see their work on grievances that are System-Wide.

Don't let them tell you and your Union siblings that only they have the power to decide the future of everyone’s work and don’t have to show us.

Business Agent Steve Lucero claims he has the 'authority' to hide these System-Wide grievances because he is responsible for 'handling' grievances.

We checked the Bylaws. The word 'handling' isn't there.
Article VI, Section 3 only gives him the duty to 'process' grievances and 'report' them to the Board. He is an administrator, not a king.

Furthermore, federal law (LMRDA) gives us the right to know about changes to our working conditions. By hiding the System-Wide grievances, he is trying to enforce secret rules that affect our jobs. We have every right to demand a meeting and hold a vote to adopt a policy of transparency.
