GEO’s bylaws spell out the processes for conducting day-to-day union business. More importantly, they articulate our members’ vision for GEO. All changes to the bylaws are heavily vetted through democratic means. First, the Bylaws Committee proposes changes, and then the membership must vote on them in a referendum.
