This past Saturday we moved our Local union forward re-energized, re-focused and re-engaged to build power for our members. The new proposed by-laws meeting and vote this weekend shows that members believe in the direction we are moving.<\/p>\n

Local 105 Trustee Ron Ruggiero said, \u201cThe approval of our bylaws on Saturday represents a huge step forward for our Local in building a stronger union and to emerge from Trusteeship early next year.\u00a0 I applaud the dedicated work of the ULOC Members who worked hard to revise our bylaws to have a stronger member voice in our union, forge a unified Local, and bring more democracy and accountability to our union.\u00a0 These are the values that are critical for us to have a great union.\u00a0 I also want to thank all the members who came out to vote on a frigid day\u2014the overwhelming nature of the vote shows that the ULOC did a great job in making recommendations that made sense to our membership.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new by-laws passed almost unanimously with 99% of the members voting approving the changes. <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
