Questions 1: What is the importance of the constitution of a national union? How does it dictate the internal government and procedures of the union?
Question 2: Why do local unions request the services of the national unions in the collective bargaining process? How does the staff representative play an important role in this process?
Question 3: What are activities that are carried out at a national union convention, and why does this type of venue allow for the Democratic process to have an opportunity of working?
Question 4: Why do people become local union officers even when there is often little or no compensation involved? Include extrapolation on the study by Koziara, Bradley, and Pierson.
