REVISED AND AMENDED BY AUTHORITY OF
1st SMART General Convention Held at Las Vegas, Nevada August 11-15, 2014
Preamble
Realizing the advantage and necessity of cooperative effort properly and legally directed to fully develop and demonstrate the possibilities of our trade in the various fields of industry and to protect our rights in connection therewith, we hereby pledge our united efforts and support as members of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers to the accomplishment of said purpose.
In this age of organized effort, it is essential that those engaged at our trade must likewise organize in order to establish and maintain desirable working conditions and thus provide for themselves and their families that measure of comfort, happiness, and security to which every good citizen is entitled in return for his or her labor from a deep sense of pride in our trade, to give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.
For reasons stated herewith, we adopt this Constitution and Ritual and pledge our support and allegiance to the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers of the United States and Canada, and as members thereof, we agree to be governed by the provisions, requirements, purpose and intent of this Constitution and all subsequent amendments thereto.
Article Twenty-One B (21B) sets forth the political structure and functioning of the Transportation Division including the selection, authority, duties and responsibilities of its officers. Other parts of the Constitution govern the operation of the association as a whole, including the Transportation Division. Where application of other parts of the Constitution to the Transportation Division would negate the provisions of Article Twenty-One B (21B), it is presumed that this is not the intent of the Constitution. Some provisions of the Constitution plainly apply to sheet metal workers and are to be interpreted as applying only to sheet metal workers unless there is no conflict between such provisions and Article Twenty-One B (21B) and application is necessary to address questions not answered in Article Twenty-One B (21B) or to provide uniformity in the administration of the association.
