union constitution

A union constitution is a formal document that outlines the fundamental rules, principles, and structure of a labor union. It defines how the union operates, including membership criteria, leadership roles, decision-making processes, and procedures for electing officials. The constitution ensures that the union functions fairly, transparently, and in accordance with legal requirements. It serves as a guiding framework for members and leaders, helping maintain order, protect workers' rights, and promote collective bargaining efforts. Essentially, it is the foundational “rulebook” that governs how the union conducts its activities and serves its members.
