President of Local union setting the time of the meeting.

The president has the right to set a meeting at any time, however can the president unilaterally decide the actual times? for example our president always sets meetings time between 6-7pm. this time is not convenient for a majority of our stewards and members as its an important shift handover time for the nurses. as the LEC do we have a right to request for a different time? for example 8pm so that many of our stewards and in fact all 4 of the LEC can attend? our bylaws/constituition only states: The Local President may call a
Committee meeting at any time to deal with business of an urgent nature.

It will ultimately depend on what your bylaws provide on this matter.

Anyone can request anything.

Whether the LEC can actually require a different time, notwithstanding the choice of the President, is a different matter altogether.

Are you certain this is the only relevant provision? This seems to relate to special meetings, based on the reference to "business of an urgent nature." It would appear that, at least for special meetings, your bylaws grant the President unilateral authority to determine the time, place, and location of the meetings.

But this provision does not seem to answer the question of how regular meetings of the Local Executive Committee (?) (I am guessing this is what LEC stands for) are scheduled.
