Mary Longoria states in the “Labor Press” “The Bulletin”
our union newspaper “I would like to update members on my ATU Bulletin article
from last month regarding monthly reports. Since last month the credit card
billing has been changed and it worked out quite well. The billing now starts on
the 28th of each month and goes through to the 27th
instead of the 12th through the 11th. I was able to post
the credit card charges before the report ran for the month. This will help in
the accuracy of the monthly reports. I think this was one of the main reasons
why reports changed after the reporting cycle.”
From Mary’s statements made here it is confirmation that our officers are
aware that the monthly report on the prior months financial is not accurate yet
they continue to operate in the same manner. This type of practice must stop and
our officers need to be held accountable.
Here is what our
Constitution and Bylaw states about that. ATU International Constitution 13.12
“The Financial Secretary shall keep a true and proper account between the Local
Union and its members, collect all monies due the Local Union and pay same to
the Local Treasurer, taking receipt
for the same; shall be one of the officers signing all drafts; shall report to
the Local Union at each meeting the amount collected” and ATU757 Bylaw Section 7
“The Financial Secretary-Treasurer/Recording Secretary shall render at the first
meeting on or after the 5th of the month a full report of the receipts and
expenditures of the preceding month” So our member are supposed to receive a
“true and proper account” “full report” of the receipts and expenditures of the
preceding month. So if the financial statement is not complete or it is being
changed after being presented to members would that be counted as a “true and
proper account” “full
report”?
