Changes in Union Leadership and Upcoming Bylaws Revision

Dear Members, 

We would like to bring to your attention some important developments within our union that will impact on our organizational structure and future plans. 

Firstly, The Executive Board has approved the appointment of Tyson Conrod to the role of interim Base Vice President YWG in addition to his current duties as Vice President.  

As our Company continues to evolve it has become evident that our current bylaws do not fully reflect the operating environment, we now find ourselves in. This reality has prompted us to take a comprehensive look at our bylaws, ensuring they align with the evolving needs and in supporting of our membership. 

Many of you have raised questions regarding Stewards and Committee Positions for our new bases. To address these concerns and better align our bylaws with our current operating environment, we have begun the process of rewriting our union bylaws. This process will provide clarity on these positions and enhance the effectiveness of our Union in representing your interests. 

In tandem with the bylaw's revision, we understand that a thorough review of our budgets will be necessary. The financial aspect is crucial to ensure that our union remains robust and able to meet our members' needs. We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this process.  

Once we have a plan the Executive will call a Special Membership Meeting (SMM). This meeting will serve as a platform to discuss the proposed bylaws changes.     

We will keep you informed of the specific details regarding the SMM, and we look forward to your participation in shaping the future of our union. 

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our shared goals.
