What is the name of your state? California
I belong to a very small, four person, independant labor union. No national affiliation. Last year, when our contract expired, our company made us all salaried personnel. We all agreed to this.
The problem is terminating our union. There's a small matter of $50K that needs to be addressed. $40K is being held by the state, because our president, the lone officer, neglected to tell the bank of our new mailing address. He has also negleted to file paperwork with the NLRB, hold elections and keep any sort of accounting of union assets for the last three years.
I got the NLRB involved to the extent of them requesting the back paper work and a termination accounting. That was last November, and the president has yet to do this.
I have called for a meeting, and can get only one other person to respond. The other member works for the president, and just like him, refuses to respond to any of my communications.
I obtained a copy of the last filed constitution, and it contains no language for asset dispersal at the end of the bargaining agreement. NLRB rep said to divide it up amoung the remaining members equally. But I can't do it without the presidents paperwork.
Questions:
Can I call for, and hold a union meeting without the officers being present?
How are assets of a union dispersed, with any guidelines from its constitution?
