Each Local Executive Member has at their disposal an amount of $3000.00 per year to be used at their discretion to further advance their education in regard to union activism and/or leadership. If $3000.00 or a portion of same is not utilized, it can be carried over a single time to the following year. 

The Local Executive will be funded to attend seminars/workshops relative to the work of the Local.  Funding shall include wages, registration, transportation, meal per diems, and hotels/parking where applicable.

The seminar/workshop shall be one that would benefit the Executive member by giving them the basics they would need in order to perform the duties of the Local.

Paid union leave may be taken on the day immediately preceding the event (evening or night) and may include the final day of the event (maximum 11.78 hours for each day of the event). All paid union leaves shall be approved by the Local President and Treasurer and/or designate if required.
