Under the Local 2010 Bylaws, the President can call a “Special Meeting” of the membership if she considers the issue at hand important enough to warrant such a meeting. President Catherine Cobb has called a special meeting of Local 2010 membership for this Tuesday, March 26 at 6:00 PM for the sole and exclusive purpose of resolving one question that deadlocked (a four/four split) at the Executive Board.
Our Bylaws provide that “If the Executive Board is deadlocked for two consecutive meetings on any matter within its exclusive authority…this matter may be referred to the membership for resolution.” At its meetings of March 4 and March 18, the Executive Board has deadlocked over the following matter:
The unavailability of the Secretary-Treasurer due to a suspension of less than one year’s duration shall not create a vacancy to be filled pursuant to Article XXII, Section 9 of the IBT Constitution, and the Secretary-Treasurer shall resume his term of office at the end of the suspension. During such temporary absence, the President shall perform all duties and assume all responsibilities of the Office of Secretary-Treasurer.
Members in attendance at this meeting will be asked to vote on this motion to resolve the Executive Board’s deadlock.
