             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.
