CUPE Union meetings follow Bourinot’s Rules of Order.
What are CUPE’s rules of order?
Bourinot’s Rules of Order
Parliamentary procedure is a list of rules used to help run meetings democratically and efficiently. Most Canadian unions, including CUPE, use Bourinot’s Rules of Order. These rules are fair and based on common sense. They help us move through union business and make good decisions at local membership meetings, and division and national conventions.
