To be eligible for election as an Officer, a delegate must be a member in good standing of an affiliated organization and must have attended at least fifty percent (50%) of the regular meetings of the Labour Council held in the twelve (12) month period prior to nomination. Or, for new affiliates of less than twelve (12) months, a delegate must have attended fifty percent (50%) of the regular meetings of the Labour Council since becoming a delegate of the Labour Council. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delegate who submits written notification of a valid reason to the Secretary such as union business, sickness, vacation, or having to work a shift, and on approval of the Executive shall be credited with attendance insofar as the delegate’s right to hold office. This letter of notification must be in the Labour Council’s possession within ten (10) working days following any meeting.
Section 5. A delegate must, in addition to the other requirements of these By-Laws, be present at the meeting to accept the nomination in person, or must have forwarded acceptance in writing for presentation at the nomination meeting to the Secretary in order to be eligible to stand as a candidate for election.
