Motion 1c. Support/Rationale:

The motion will ensure that our election schedule will fully complete the current 3 year term.  Otherwise, the current term will be cut shorter than 3 years as described in our constitution.

Motion 2a. Strike:

Section 13. Chief Steward

A Chief Steward and such other stewards as may be necessary shall be elected by vote of the local’s membership.

Motion 2b. Add:

Section 13. Chief Steward

A Chief Steward shall be elected by vote of the local’s membership. 

Motion 2b. Support/Rationale:

The text may be confusing and suggest that all stewards ought to be elected.  The edit will clarify the intention that the Chief Steward will specifically be elected.
