Constitution and Bylaws Committee

The bylaws of each local union, with the UAW Constitution, set out the rules by which the local
operates. In a new local, the work of this committee sets the stage for how the local will function.
But, even well established locals may need to modify or amend their bylaws.

Members of this committee are responsible for submitting original and/or amended bylaws
provisions to the local union membership for discussion and approval. This committee monitors
the required local union bylaws amendment procedure to ensure compliance with the current
bylaws and constitutional provisions.

Once the amended bylaws provision(s) has been approved by the local union membership, this
committee monitors the process to ensure that the amendment is immediately submitted to the
International Executive Board pursuant to Article 37, Section 3 of the Constitution. Join this
committee to strengthen your local union's bylaws and structure.
