Unit By-laws

On this page you will find the by-laws of various Units of COPE Local 343.

Unit by-laws can be drafted by the individual Unit for their use in governing their Unit. Local 343 has developed a Bargaining Unit By-laws Template for Units to use while drafting their by-laws. Click here to access the Bargaining Unit By-laws Template (.doc)

In the absence of Unit by-laws, Local 343’s By-laws take precedent – check out the Resources Section to access the Constitution and By-laws.

When drafting or amending your Unit’s by-laws, please keep in mind that your Unit’s by-laws must not conflict with COPE Local 343’s By-laws or COPE National’s Constitution. Click here to access COPE National’s Constitution.

After by-laws have been drafted or amended, they must be submitted for review and approval by the Local 343 Executive Board.

To submit bylaws for review and approval, please e-mail them to us at office@cope343.com
