Brothers & Sisters,
Due to the increasing spread of Covid-19 along with further restrictions from the State of Ohio, the SPECIAL CALLED MEETING
FOR MONDAY DECEMBER 14, 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELED. Please find the required nomination and election notices listed
below regarding the 2021 UA Convention Delegates. Local 42 will be allotted five (5) delegates to the 2021 UA Convention, with
2 of those being the full time, paid officers (BM & BA). Recently we have received strong recommendations and guidance from
General President McManus regarding the upcoming nomination and election of 2021 convention delegates. GP McManus has
used his authority to allow locals to take safer, alternative means of completing the nomination and election process. Local 42
will be utilizing the ‘Alternative Procedure For Nominations’ as stated by GP McManus. This procedure is posted on the Local 42
website under the update titled “UA Delegate Nomination & Election Updates”. For the safety of the members we will utilize a
drive-thru setup for the voting of delegates. The official notices for nominations and election of convention delegates are posted
below. For any member interested in serving as a convention delegate please be aware that due to Covid, locals are being told the
2021 convention will take place, in a yet to be determined format, one of three ways. 1) A normal, full convention with all delegates
attending in person, in San Diego, August 23-27, 2021. 2) A partial in person/partial virtual convention with full time paid officers
attending in person and all other delegates attending virtually. 3) A 100% virtual convention.

3. The President or Election Committee must contact members who are nominated for office by other members as soon as possible
regarding whether they accept the nomination.

5. In lieu of an in‐person nominations meeting, the President must set up and conduct, with technical assistance provided and
costs covered by the Local Union, a nominations meeting by video‐ or teleconference. This meeting will be informational in
nature and access information must be provided to the members. During this video‐ or teleconference, the Election Committee

office, announce that any further nominations must be made by letter or email and must be received by the President or
Election Committee within three (3) days after the video‐ or teleconference, and provide other relevant information. To the
