LOCAL DEMAND SETTING MEETING

In accordance with the Negotiations Procedures, each local is instructed to convene a Local Demand Setting meeting for the purpose of setting and prioritizing their local’s demands.

Each LEC should use the results of the Bargaining Issues Survey to help them formulate proposals to be presented to the members at the Local Demand Setting meeting. The members may then accept, reject or amend the proposals as they wish.  This model is similar to the way resolutions are handled at Convention.
