 Information is Available for New Officers
For many local unions, the first quarter is a time in which newly elected officers
begin their duties. As a result, I have noticed an increased volume of requests
from local union officers seeking information. In the spirit of helping our newly
elected Secretaries and Treasurers, the following is a list of publications available
from the General Office that may be helpful to you:
International Constitution and Bylaws
Delegates to International Conventions approve changes to this document
and therefore new editions are printed every four years. The present
65th edition was adopted July 22, 2005 and is beige in color. International
Constitutions and Bylaws are available to local unions at a cost of $2.50
per copy.
Local Union Secretary and Treasurer Handbook
This booklet is designed to familiarize officers with the necessary procedures
and overall duties and responsibilities related to their positions.
Sample Constitution and Bylaws for Local Unions
The original purpose of this booklet was to assist newly chartered local
unions with the development of their initial Constitution and Bylaws.
However, because of its simplicity, many older local unions use this document
as a starting point when re-writing their Constitution and Bylaws.
Advice To Members Of Trial Boards of Local Unions
In the Conduct of Trials
This booklet should be used in conjunction with Articles Sixteen and
Seventeen of the International Constitution and Bylaws. The information
contained in the booklet is intended to answer many of the questions that
arise before, during and after trials are completed.
Welcome To The I.A.T.S.E. Pamphlet
This pamphlet replaced the old Introduction to the I.A.T.S.E. booklet.
The pamphlet contains a brief history of the IA, a description of our structure
and benefits as well as a message from President Short. The pamphlet
is designed to allow our local unions to place their contact information on
the pamphlet and is available in English, Spanish and French. Local
unions may purchase these at $0.30 per pamphlet.
If you are a local union officer interested in receiving any of the
above-mentioned publications please do not hesitate to contact the
General Office.
