NEW YORK DELEGATES HEAD

 

FOR GUILD, CWA CONVENTIONS

Twenty-five delegates and 25 alternate delegates have been elected to represent the New York Local, in Victoria, British Columbia, at May’s four-day Sector Conference of The Newspaper Guild (TNG) International.

Eleven delegates and 11 alternate delegates have also been elected for the two-day convention of the Communications Workers of America, which will be held from August 29—31 in Chicago, Illinois.

Alternates may vote on convention actions only in the absence of delegates for whom they fill in.

All delegates and alternates were nominated by our Representative Assembly (RA), without opposition, February 22, as its candidates for the seats.  They were declared elected March 1, when no opposing contestants were nominated by that date via membership petitions.  Had there been a contest, the RA candidates would have run as The Democratic Coalition Slate.  Those elected are as follows.
