skippy1957 Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:29 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 at 02:29 PM Can a member of the Local Union call for a strike vote at a regular union meeting without posting it on the board at work. Our contract is up in 16 days and our meeting is 2 days prior to negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd recommend it as a bargaining best practice. But it violates no rule in RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
