Election Bulletin – Rules on Campaigning

Candidates are reminded that they may not use any elected office or employment position to campaign for elections.

Elected officers or members on union leave may not campaign on ILWU paid time, use ILWU offices, or ILWU contact information which is not available to all members to campaign.

Members may not campaign on Employer (company or Union) paid time, use Employer offices, Employer resources such as paper, copy machines, etc., or Employer contact information to campaign.

This does not restrict the right of members to campaign before, after work or on breaks and does not restrict the right of members to campaign using contact information available to all members.

This is NOT new information. These have always been the expectations and the rules.

Elections Officer
