This is a petition, by the undersigned, formally requesting a special meeting of CWA Local 4630 to be held. The purpose of this meeting is to reconsider a motion made to hold a referendum to break up Local 4630.
Pursuant to CWA Local 4630 Bylaws Article 11, Section 1, specifically:
Regular meetings of this Local shall be held on the third Wednesday of each month. Special meetings may be called by a majority of the Local Officers, or by a petition signed by thirty (30) members.

The Local is now required to hold a special meeting no later than November 8, 2008. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss and possibly make a motion to rescind the following motion passed on October 15, 2008:
I would like to make a motion to hold a referendum by November 29, 2008, to decide whether the Local should perform the following in order to move to charter a separate local; waive jurisdiction over the work performed by members in Rock County, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Ixonia, Monroe, Oconomowoc, Platteville, Watertown and Whitewater as of January 2, 2009 and transfer to the new local upon receipt of a charter, all possessions currently in the Janesville union office along with a share of treasury total as of January 2, 2009, which is proportionate to the percentage of members waived.
This required meeting will be held on November 6, 2008 at 6pm at the Local Union Office at 821 Williamson St, Madison, Wisconsin.
