§ 5153 Voting By Chapter Or Region

Key Takeaways

  • •A company can let its members vote in groups, like by location or department.
  • •The rules for how these groups vote must be written in the company's official rulebook.
  • •This helps big companies make decisions without everyone voting all at once.

Example

A big store chain with locations in different cities wants to pick a new uniform for workers.

Instead of every worker voting, the company can let each city vote separately. The rules for how this works must be written in the company's rulebook.
