Continuous Good Standing. Rule). The provisions of the IBT Constitution concerning eligibility to run for office will become effective on January 1, 2006. For the purpose of determining eligibility to run for office only, all BMWED bodies will be treated as “newly chartered” on January 1, 2006 and the provisions of Article II, Section 4(b), of the IBT Constitution will be applied. (NOTE: The IBT Constitution provides that members are eligible to run for election only if they are “in continuous good standing . . . and actively employed in the craft . . . for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months prior to the month of nomination” (IBT Constitution, Article II, Section 4(a)(1)). In general, “continuous good standing” means the timely payment of dues for each of the twenty-four months during the applicable period together with no interruptions in active membership during that period. Timely payment of dues is accomplished by actually paying dues for the month by the last business day of that month. This requirement is also satisfied if a member is on dues checkoff and has earnings during the month from which dues could have been deducted. In “newly chartered” affiliates, Article II, Section 4(b), of the IBT Constitution reduces the twenty-four month period to “at least half of the period of time since the [affiliate] was separately chartered.” As an example, for nominations held in September 2006 within the former BMWE, a member will be eligible to run only if he has maintained continuous good standing for four months (one-half the eight-month period from January 1, 2006, through August 2006) ending with the month before nominations. This means that the member must have paid his or her dues on time in May, June, July and August of 2006. The issuance of unemployment cards or withdrawal cards by the BMWED will not satisfy the requirement to maintain member in good standing status under the IBT Constitution for the purpose of eligibility to run for office.)
