Vacancy on Our Executive Board

Adam Ritscher on Monday, September 9 - 4:52pm

One of our elected Trustees has stepped down. The procedure for when that happens is anyone who wants to apply to fill out the remainder of their term (which would be for 2 and a half years) can apply, and the local union's Executive Board selects one of the candidates. If you're interested in being one of our Trustees, fill out the application linked here, and get it to our office by 5pm on Monday, Sept. 16 (you can email it to [email protected] or drop it off at Room 206 of the Duluth Labor Temple). FYI, trustees get together at least quarterly to audit our books and they also get to attend and vote at our monthly Executive Board meetings. It comes with a monthly stipend of $75.
