Important Article to Read and Understand
Amendment Article 12-24 states, that the Recording Secretary shall maintain
an attendance book and the book shall be signed by each member at each
meeting he attends. This book will also be used to record the excused
absences of officers and stewards for the purpose of reimbursing dues. No
members’ name shall be entered in the book by another person except as
permitted or required by these By-laws, the Constitution, or policies of the
International Brotherhood, or any applicable law. An officer or steward who
does not attend the monthly meeting for any personal illness, union duties,
regular employment under a contract between the union and his employer, or
some other unavoidable situation, shall present to the President on or before
the next monthly meeting, his written reason for non-attendance at the meeting
he missed. If his reason is acceptable to the President and approved by a
simple majority of the membership present, his name shall be entered in the
book for each such meeting with a notation that his absence has been
excused, and the President shall report this action at the next regular meeting
and be so recorded in the meeting minutes.

Note From Bob Winger...
At Myrtle Beach we were presented with a program that has been utilized by
Local 154 to help members with a possible drug or alcohol problem. If you or
the Boilermaker in your life can't stop drinking or using, if you can't make it
home with the paycheck, if you can't get to work everyday, or you are just sick
and tired, call John Roeber (406) 227-8757 or Bob Winger (406) 670-8714.
Confidential help is available! No finger pointing, no lectures; just an honest
caring desire to help! We offer treatment modeled after a successful program
in Local 154. This is covered by our insurance.
Note from Tony Weed's Family...
