As members of Local 768, DC37, we have written four proposals to increase members' voice in the decisions that affect us, and rebuild a stronger union in the process. You can view the full proposals here. Briefly, the proposals are to:
- Allow members to establish title-based Chapters
- Allow Local union meetings (including Chapters) to be held via phone or video conference
- Require Local to solicit proposals from members (and especially Chapters) prior to any contract negotiations, put proposals to a vote, provide substantive updates on negotiations and recommend open bargaining
- Require Local to hire an independent Parliamentarian to help ensure democratic procedure during meetings
