No opposing candidates were nominated at the meeting, which was the
regular October session of the Representative Assembly.
Additional nominations may still be made, via petitions signed by not
less than 5% of the Local’s membership in good standing as of October 1,
2004. All such petitions must be
in the hands of the Local Secretary-Treasurer by 6:00 p.m., November 3, 2004.
If no other contestants file petitions by the November 3 deadline,
the nominees of the RA will be declared elected at that time.
They will begin their three- year terms of office on January 2nd.
Complete election rules have been sent by the Local to all New York Guild shops, for posting on unit bulletin boards. Anyone wishing a copy of the rules should contact Local Headquarters at (212) 575-1580.
