Section 1. No collective bargaining agreement shall be ratified or extended by the National Executive Board without the approval of a majority vote of the membership.
The process for such a vote shall be as follows:

a. Notice of the vote, including details of the proposed agreement or extension, shall be        communicated to all members at least fourteen (14) days prior to the vote.
b. Voting shall be conducted in a manner ensuring the privacy and security of each member’s vote, with options for both electronic and in-person voting where feasible.
c. The results of the vote shall be binding on the National Executive Board, and no agreement or extension shall be considered ratified unless it achieves a simple majority (>50%) in favor.

Rationale: This amendment ensures that the power to approve or extend collective bargaining agreements remains with the membership, reflecting democratic principles within the organization.
