Re: SEIU Bylaws 2009 - Article VII
I just wanted to make a quick note even before posting more of the Bylaws.This section is seemingly at the heart of the dispute over SEIU Local 503's corporate status.
I also want to note that I would strike this entire section. I'll add more detail later as I begin going through the Articles in depth.
