The Local 238 motion calling to repeal Article XII Section 2 of the Teamster Constitution (the two-thirds rule) at the 2021 International Convention was passed for the following reasons:
An overwhelming number of our UPS and Freight members support repealing the two-thirds rule;
The two-thirds rule has not been enforced consistently in the private sector including at the local union level;
The two-thirds rule is divisive to our union and counter productive to our core principle that we are stronger together, united we stand and divided we fall;
We live in changing times and our union, along with it’s governing documents, needs to evolve with the times and the wishes of our members.
