SPECIAL NOTE
ARTICLE 6
SECTION 17
On March 10, 1989, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ordered that certain provisions of Article 6, Section 17 of the Constitution of the International Union, UAW be expunged from the Constitution. Prior to compliance with this order, the Union appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court; however, that body denied the Union's appeal on October 2, 1989. Due to the action of the U.S. Supreme Court in refusing to overturn the order of the Court of Appeals, compliance with that order was required, thereby rendering the issue closed and leaving only the provisions of Article 6, Section 17 set forth herein in effect.
ARTICLE 33
APPEALS
This will serve as a reminder that in accordance with a Constitutional amendment which was adopted in 1970 by the delegates to the 22nd Constitutional Convention, all matters appealed to the Convention Appeals Committee will be considered to have been decided by the Convention and are final and binding upon any case coming before them.
