Who must uphold the rules of the IBEW Constitution and bylaws?

All members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) are responsible for upholding the rules of the IBEW Constitution and bylaws. This collective responsibility ensures that every individual adheres to the standards and regulations set forth by the organization, promoting unity, integrity, and cooperation among the membership. By requiring all members to follow these rules, the IBEW fosters a strong sense of accountability and commitment to the values and functions of the union. It also establishes a framework within which members can engage with each other and with the organization as a whole.

While specific roles such as the Executive Board or Business Manager have additional responsibilities and may lead in enforcing these rules, the foundational principle of adherence to the Constitution and bylaws lies with every member, establishing a culture of compliance and respect for the organization's regulations.
