To conduct the discussion in an orderly manner we follow the parliamentary procedure used in most Local Unions and community organization meetings outlined in Robert’s Rules of Order. If you have any questions about how to use these rules during the meeting, always feel free to ask. As a new local union, we are all learning together and there are no wrong questions. You can find a cheat sheet with the most commonly used rules here.

In solidarity,

CPW-UAW Executive Board
