Local
34 Editorial Policy
This
policy pertains to articles printed in the monthly
newsletter
The
purpose of the newsletter and the web site is to inform
members about the affairs of the Union at the local,
council, state and national level.
A
related purpose is to build solidarity within the Union in
order to achieve the goals of the Union to improve the
working lives of the members.
Because
both the newsletter and the web site are the public face
of the Local to both our friends and foes nothing will
appear in either publication which will hint at or allude
to dissension or internal struggles within the local.
Every
member of the local has the right to express his/her
personal opinions, whether positive or negative towards
the leaders of the local or the polices of the
organization. It is the policy of the local that we
express those opinions or feelings within the safety of
our union family through private communication to the
leadership and/or at general membership meetings.
Both
the newsletter editor and the web master will use this
policy as a guide when deciding which material to accept
or reject for publication.
Any
disagreements between the editor, web master and those
wishing to submit material will be referred to the
Executive Board for final determination.
