ELECTION NEWS

Election Dates and Information:...
Christopher Rafael Day 12:33pm Jan 6
Election Dates and Information:
http://www.atu757.org/ has posted the Nomination date for the 2012 ATU757 Elections. Here is the information as provided by the site and ATU757 bylaws:

Nomination Date: May 20, 2012
Note about bylaw statement: Section 13 of ATU757 Bylaws clearly state that “Nominations shall be held at the first regular Union meeting in May every three (3) years. They shall be held at the 7:30pm meeting as set forth by the financial Secretary-Treasurer.”
The interesting thing about this is that we no longer have a 7:30pm meeting. The Charter meeting is now held at 3pm so the time of Nominations must be clearly posted as well and/or a correction to the Bylaws to reflect the actual time of the event.

Section 14 of ATU757 Bylaws clearly state that “Election ballots are to be counted no sooner than 20 days nor later than 25 days from the meeting at which nominations were made.

This means that ballots must be made, mailed out and returned as soon as June 9, 2012 as late as June 14, 2012. Between these two dates a counting date must be made and all ballots must be in by 9am the date of the counting. Ballots must only be mailed in to the post office and no ballots will be accepted any other way. Only Ballots collect from the post office box will be counted.

So that is the date information as of current. Get the word out about how important every members vote is. Last election on 52% of the membership voted.
