NOMINATION MADE FOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE SEAT
The New York Guild’s Representative Assembly (RA) has named New York Times Unit Vice Chairperson and former Grievance Chairperson Fernando Ariza as its candidate to fill the vacant Local Executive Committee seat formerly occupied by Times Grievance Chairperson Anthony Napoli, who joined the Local’s staff as a Local Representative.
Ariza was unopposed at the April 18 RA meeting, following his nomination.
Additional candidates for the Executive Committee post may be made via petitions and by not less than 5% of the membership in good standing, and filed with Secretary-Treasurer Bill O’Meara by 5:00 p.m. April 25, 2006.
If no petitions are filed by the deadline, Fernando will be declared elected at that time. In the event of a contest, the candidate will run on The Democratic Coalition Slate, and the election will be conducted entirely by mail ballot.
