Any nationally elected officer may be recalled. To Recall an elected officer, a petition will be submitted to
NATCA’s General Counsel. The petition must be signed by no less than 20% of eligible active members for the officer to be recalled. NATCA’s General Counsel will have 30 days to validate that the 20% threshold was reached. Within the next 30 days, the recall will be conducted. A vote of 2/3rd of all eligible votes returned is required to recall an elected officer.
The National Election Committee will conduct the recall.

Rationale: The NATCA constitution includes previsions to impeach an officer for misconduct. However,
misconduct should not be the only mechanism to change course of the Union if deemed appropriate by the membership. Recalls are a normal part of American democracy, and they exist, in some form or another, in 39 of 50 states. We should not restrict the membership ability hold elected leaders accountable via a recall provision. However, that threshold should be high, but it should be a process where the membership holds controls the decision.
