Gary Novosielski Posted March 28, 2012 at 02:47 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 at 02:47 PM There's no rule in RONR that would prohibit that. People can write letters about whatever they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted March 28, 2012 at 03:24 PM Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 at 03:24 PM So the B.A. and Excutive Board members can express his own opinion on union letter head that is mailed in with the merger ballot payed by the local. But if i want express my opinion I have to pay for the paper, envolopes and postage. If this is true, it is very disheartening.Thank You, Wonk I appreciate your speedy answer.John C.

If this is true, it is very disheartening.I think one thing you want to be clear about regarding Gary's answer is that nothing in RONR would preclude this action/behavior. That is not to say that RONR would endorse it, or validate it either. If the B.A. wanted to wear feety pajamas and dance around in the street singing The Elephant Song, RONR would not stop him either.If the membership feels his behavior warrants disciplinary action, that option can be explored by them.

It has no rules on this subject one way or the other. Your union may have rules on it, however, and if it doesn't, it can adopt some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
