International Constitution and By-Laws
The Constitution and By-Laws is the governing document
of the Union, providing a roadmap to a better quality of life for union members
and their families.
The purpose of the union is to create and maintain a
more harmonious and amicable relationship with one another and for the mutual
benefit of all within the roofing and waterproofing trade; to increase, nourish
and sustain the prestige and dignity of all affiliated local unions, at the
same time guaranteeing local and individual autonomy; to broaden the scope of
usefulness and extend the field of employment of each and every individual
member; to protect and improve the economic conditions and quality of life of
members and all working people, their families and their communities; to
confederate as far as practicable our somewhat rather spasmodic individual
efforts into one continuous collective undertaking for the up building and
improvement of the Union and its members.
This Constitution and By-Laws as amended has deftly
guided the actions of generations of unionized roofers and waterproofers since
1903.
