Section 1[edit]

Between National Conventions, the National Executive Board shall be responsible for governing this Union, upholding its laws and policies and advancing its interests. Actions and decisions of the National Executive Board and its members shall be appealable to the General Executive Board of LIUNA, which shall review the record and affirm or reverse and remand in writing at its next Board meeting. All such appeals to the General Executive Board of LIUNA must be in writing and postmarked no later than 30 days following the actions or decisions which are being appealed.

Section 2[edit]

The National Executive Board may exercise legislative power when, in its opinion, it deems it necessary to conform to or comply with the law or when, in its judgment, the exercise of such power is deemed necessary, proper, and appropriate.

Section 3[edit]

The National Executive Board shall have authority to hear and decide appeals from disciplinary proceedings arising in subordinate bodies of this Union and shall provide to parties thereto, through appropriate regulations, such fair procedures as are generally recognized in the trade union movement and are required under applicable law.

Section 4[edit]

If meetings of the National Executive Board are held outside of Washington, DC, the National Officers are encouraged to visit, when practicable, a nearby facility where Mail Handlers are employed.
