Who investigates membership applications and reports to the Local Union?

The Membership Committee is responsible for investigating membership applications and reporting to the Local Union. This committee plays a crucial role in ensuring that all applications are thoroughly assessed, upholding the standards of the union in terms of eligibility and qualifications for membership. By evaluating applicants, the committee helps maintain the integrity and strength of the union, ensuring that new members align with the union's values and goals. Reporting to the Local Union allows for transparency and informed decision-making related to membership.

The Executive Board focuses on broader governance and policy decisions within the union, while the Examining Committee typically deals with specific issues like disciplinary actions or appeals. The Steward Board is more concerned with representation of members in the workplace and handling immediate concerns. Each of these groups has distinct functions that do not overlap with the investigation of membership applications.
