Policy Groups consist of the Policy Chair, the Policy Group Secretary and the members
of that Policy Group.
Policy Groups elect Shop Stewards (Member participation is encouraged), Negotiate
Contracts and Enforce those Contracts through the Grievance Procedure.
The Policy groups provide information to the members from the Executive Board and to
the Executive Board from the members.
Shop Stewards are the backbone of the union, they enforce the contract and provide a
two-way conduit by which information flows to the members from the Policy Groups and
from the members to the Policy Groups.
Local 120 is a Democratic Organization where member participation is encouraged at
every level and every member has a voice in how the Local is run.
