Committees

How Union Committees Function (General)

Union committees are established by the Local to carry out work on behalf of the membership in specific focus areas.

  • Committees operate with broad discretion, provided their actions relate directly to their assigned mandate.
  • They may research issues, make recommendations, organize activities, draft policies, and bring proposals to the Executive Board or membership as required.
  • Committees do not replace the authority of the Executive Board or membership but act as working bodies to advance Union priorities.
  • Committees may set their own meeting schedules, internal roles, and work plans, subject to Local bylaws and direction from the Executive Board.
