Recruitment:
|
|
Always have CLUW membership cards and/or brochures available.
A good tip for effective recruitment is to personally collect
the completed membership cards that you have handed out. Tell
each person whom you've given a membership card that you will
collect the card from him or her and send it in for them.
That way you have real results to show for your hard work.

Union
Label Principle:
|
|
Each chapter must use union shops when purchasing
services such as printing. If labor is donated, it should
be acknowledged on the item printed. Also, when chapters hold
events in hotels, union hotels should be patronized.

Geographical
areas:
|
|
Chapters may
cover metropolitan areas, counties, or groups of counties. It
is important to consider travel time for members. Most chapters
decide their jurisdiction according to the geographical standards
of the central labor council in their area. |

|
|
|
Meetings:
|
|
Sometime
it's necessary to rotate the location of membership meetings
to accommodate more members. |
| |
|
|
|
Parliamentary
Authority:
|
|
Refer to the National
CLUW Constitution on procedures for chapter functioning and
parliamentary authority. When the Constitution is silent, authority
is Robert's Rules of Order (most recent revised addition). |

|
|
|
Chapter
Treasury:
|
|
All chapters are
required to set up a chapter account. A booklet is available
from the National Office, Guidelines for Chapter Treasuries.
As mandated by the Constitution, all CLUW expenditures must
be handled by check. All checks are
required to have two (2) signatures. That means the chapter
account should have another signature besides the Chapter President. |

|
|
|
Membership
renewals:
|
|
Each year members
need to renew their national and local chapter membership. Membership
renewals are very important to the lifeblood of the chapter
and the chapter Treasury. Make sure accurate records are kept,
so renewal notices are sent out. The National CLUW Office sends
out renewal notices to members reminding them to renew their
national membership. |
