The Proposal:

TO ALL ACTIVE IBEW LOCAL 94 MEMBERS: 

In accordance with the IBEW Constitution and the by-laws of Local 94 this letter will serve as notice that there will be two changes proposed and acted on during the August and September Union Meetings.

1.) The first proposed change will be made to increase Officer and Steward monthly salary by $25.00. The following Offices will be proposed to increase by $25.00:
Vice-President   Executive Board Members including the Chairman
Financial Secretary  Chief Stewards
Recording Secretary  Shop Stewards
Treasurer 
2.) The second proposed change will be made to modify the dues structure for the Line Clearance Tree Trimmers in the Local.  The proposal will be to modify the dues to a percentage amount (working dues) plus the International dues and the Local Union portion for the Benefits and  Social Fund. The working dues portion will be proposed at .6% of all wages instead of the one hours wage that is currently in place.

Both proposals have been evaluated and concurred with by the Executive Board, Business Agents, and Officers.

The by-laws will be proposed and read at the August 9, 2007 General Meeting in Hightstown.  There will be no discussion on the proposals at this meeting.  The second reading of the by-law proposals will be read and in addition a SECRET BALLOT VOTE will be conducted at each of the four meeting locations: 
North Meeting  September  6,  2007
Central Meeting  September 12, 2007
Nuclear Meeting  September 18, 2007
Burlington meeting  September 19, 2007

Both proposals will be printed and distributed at the Local Union meetings in August and September.  Any changes to the by-laws as a result of the secret ballot vote require International approval before becoming effective.
