One Member, One Vote!

At the delegate meeting on February 8th an important motion was unanimously passed. All rank and file members will now have the right to ratify their collective bargaining agreements by mail in ballot, conducted by the American Arbitration Association. Members of specialty locals will vote on specialty contracts and general carpenters will vote on the general agreements. History has been made by The New York City District Council where it is the only place in the UBC where this happens.
