Article 20Dissolution No Local Union can dissolve, secede or disaffiliate without the approval of the General Executive Board while there are seven (7) dissenting members; no Joint Council can dissolve, secede or disaffiliate without the approval of the General Executive Board while there are two (2) dissenting Local Unions; nor can this International Union dissolve while there are seven (7) dissenting Local Unions. In the event of secession, dissolution or disaffiliation, all properties, funds and assets, both real and personal, of such Local Union or Joint Council or other subordinate body shall become the property of the International Union as specified in Sections 13 and 14 of Article X hereof. Under no circumstances shall any Local Union or Joint Council distribute its funds, assets or properties, or any part thereof, individually among its membership. To ascertain whether or not seven (7) members desire to retain the charter, there shall be subtracted from the complete membership list for the current month the name of each member in good standing who has, during the current month, submitted to the General Secretary-Treasurer a personally signed, notarized, individual affidavit attesting to his desire to sever his membership in the Local Union and the International Union. Such affidavit shall be forwarded to the General Secretary-Treasurer in the month in which it is signed. It shall be conclusively presumed that all who have not executed such individual affidavits still desire to retain the charter. |
