Policy for Virtual Branch Meeting and/or Steward Training Attendance
(Approved by Branch 458 on January 12, 2023)
- Only guests authorized by the Welfare Committee and members of Branch 458 will be allowed to attend Branch Meetings and/or Steward Trainings virtually. Members of Branch 458 who are assigned or detailed to a management position will not be allowed to join any virtual meeting and/or training under any circumstance.
- All members must join the meeting and/or training using their first and last name. Screen names and/or user names will not be accepted.
- Members attending virtually will be allowed to begin gaining access to the meeting and/or training up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time and those who are not allowed access by the time the meeting and/or training begins will not be allowed to join. The intent is that the members attempt access as soon as possible without detracting from other members.
- If a member has a question, they must either use “Reactions” to use “Raise Hand” or type their question in the “Chat.”
- If a member wants to vote on a motion, they must use “Reactions” to use “Thumb’s Up” if they are in favor of the motion, or “Thumb’s Down” if they are opposed to the motion. To vote on a motion, the member must be on video.
- Technical difficulties will not delay or otherwise hinder the physical Branch Meeting from taking place.
- Virtual attendance at Branch Meetings and/or Steward Trainings will not qualify a member for Convention Delegate Fees, Steward Pay, and/or Officer Pay unless the work unit where the member is assigned, or in the case of a retired member or OWCP departee, the work unit where the member was assigned at their time of separation, is 50 or more miles, one-way, from Branch 458, 221 S. Eagle Lane; Oklahoma City, OK 73128-4209. Also, to qualify for Convention Delegate Fees, Steward Pay, and/or Officer Pay, the member must always be on video during the meeting and/or training.
- All other Branch 458 Policies and Standing Rules will remain in effect.
