Copied from NALC's published amendments
These are the proposals on this subject as NALC printed them for the 2026 convention, in the July 2026 Postal Record. New language appears like this and language proposed for deletion appears struck through like this -- the same convention NALC itself uses. The 2028 resolution is still to be drafted; this is the record it starts from.
Amend Article 9, Section 1 (h)
(h). The President is authorized to appoint shall propose appointment or removal of Regional Administrative Assistants in such established NALC Regions in accordance with the needs of each respective NALC Region. This action will be confirmed by majority vote of the Executive Council. They shall establish and appoint full-time Regional Administrative Assistants based on the request of the National Business Agents, who must document and support their need, and such other organizers, representatives, assistants, counsel, accountants, industrial engineers and other professional administrative personnel as they may require to assist them in the operation of the Union and to fix their compensation, subject to the approval and ratification of the Executive Council. The President may also employ an expert accountant or audit company to audit the books and records of the Union or any of its subsidiaries at any time when, in their discretion, it may be deemed necessary; and said expert accountant or audit company shall give satisfactory bond as to the accuracy and correctness of the audit.

Amend Article 10
In case of neglect of duty or violation of this Constitution on the part of any officer of this Association or a State Association, the Executive Council shall have power to remove them from office, impose such other penalty as it may deem proper, or suspend such State Association after a fair hearing, subject to appeal to the National Convention. Any member may file with the Executive Council a charge that an officer of the National Association or a State Association has been guilty of neglect of duty or violation of this Constitution. Upon the filing of such charge, the President or Executive Vice President (or the Vice President if the charge is against both the President and Executive Vice President) shall, as soon as practicable: within 30 days (a) send, by registered mail, a copy of the charges to the officer or officers charged, and (b) appoint a member, who is not involved in the charge, to investigate the same and to make a report in writing within 30 days to the Executive Council on the results of their findings. A copy of such report shall be sent by mail to the charging member and to the officer against whom the charge was filed. The Executive Council shall determine whether a substantial charge is presented by the report and, if so, shall direct a hearing thereon before a panel of three disinterested members, excluding the investigator. The panel shall make a report with recommendations to the Executive Council which shall be served on the accused officer and charging member, who may, within 15 days, file with the Executive Council objections or comments thereon. If the Executive Council finds the officer guilty, it shall be empowered to remove them from office, or impose such other penalty as it may deem proper. Any member aggrieved by such decision of the Executive Council shall have the right to appeal to the National Convention. To perfect such appeal to the National Convention, the aggrieved member must, no later than sixty (60) days prior to the National Convention, file with the Chairperson of the Executive Council, by registered mail, notice of appeal, together with a full written statement of the reasons why the appeal should be granted; if the adverse decision of the Executive Council is not rendered until sixty-five (65) days or less prior to the National Convention, the notice to appeal and statement of reasons must be filed as soon after receipt of the decision as is reasonably possible.
