President’s Desk

Dearest Brothers & Sisters;

I want to bring to your attention some important updates regarding our upcoming membership meeting in April. Alongside the meeting details, I wish to notify you of a membership vote scheduled for the same gathering. Below are the proposed changes to our bylaws that have been presented to the executive board for consideration and now require the local’s vote:

1. **Removal of the Sergeant at Arms from our bylaws: **

*Reasoning: * The Sergeant at Arms role traditionally oversees order during in-person meetings, which is not, nor has it been a practical practice for our local.

– Given the absence of in-person meetings, this position is deemed non-essential for the functioning of our local.

– Our Executive Board boasts sufficient membership to fulfill voting requirements and address local business matters effectively.

2. **Inclusion of the Chief Steward as an official member of the Executive Board: **

*Proposed Change: * Elevating the Chief Steward to an official member of the Executive Board, rather than their current status as an appointed position by the President, as per our current bylaws.

– This amendment would grant the Chief Steward voting rights in local business matters.

Your participation and input in these matters are invaluable, as they directly impact the operation and governance of our union. 

Please mark your calendars for the April meeting and be prepared to contribute to the discussion and decision-making process.

We will be voting by secret ballot and only those present may cast a vote.

Stay safe and warm amidst the weather challenges and thank you for your continued dedication to our AFGE family.

Membership meeting

Saturday, Apr 13 • 12:15 – 1:15 PM



In solidarity,

Rebecca Wolf, Local President
