Confidential – not for distribution
MEMORANDUM
To: Afilliates, Chapters & ClubsFrom: Alex Rabb, Emma Wolfe, Bill LiptonRE: Voting on the WFO NYCCC and SCThis memo will hopefully answer the questions some of you have been asking about voting onthe WFO NYCCC.
Overall vote cap for related organizations
Organizations that are affiliated to the same parent organization may each affiliate with theWFO. No grouping of such organizations and their parent organization may have more than 15State Committee votes.
Limits on affiliations by locals
If a district or statewide body of given organization is NOT affiliated, but four or more if itscomponent organizations are, voting power will be based on the cumulative number of membersaffiliated from all the component organizations.
 Example:
•
At one point, 10 Teamsters organizations (9 IBT locals and ALA 1) were affiliated withthe WFO for a total of 14 votes. However, since no statewide or district IBT organizationhas affiliated, their combined voting strength on the NYCCC is based on the number of members affiliated, not the amount of dues paid. Since they have affiliated a combinedmaximum of 18,990 members, they can exercise a maximum of 6 votes combined. Notethat their actual combined number of members may actually be lower.For the purposes of this section, a district or statewide body is considered to have affiliated onceit has affiliated at least 15,000 members.
Deadlines
After May 1, an affiliate’s voting strength is based on its payment (or compliance with anapproved payment plan) as of 60 days prior to the vote. Before May 1, an affiliate’s voting
 
strength is based on its dues paid during the previous year.
Payment plans
Affiliate dues shall be paid on or before the last day of February. Affiliates that are unable due to budgetary or organizational constraints to comply with this deadline shall, on or before the last
 
day of February, declare their dues level for the year and develop a payment plan with the

Executive Director. The Executive Director must report all payment plans to the ExecutiveCommittee. Any affiliate whose payment plan is rejected by the Executive Director may appealto the Executive Committee.
Affiliates’ votes on the NYC coordinating council.
An affiliate’s votes on the NYC Coordinating Council are the same as its votes on the StateCommittee, but limited by the number of members it has in New York City.
 Example:
o
An organization that has affiliated 10,000 members statewide (at a dues level of $15k) but has only 4,000 members in NYC will have 5 votes on the state committee but 3 voteson the NYCCC.
