The following conversation has been paraphrased for brevity. And is not intended to be taken as quotes. However, the intent and outcome are the exact same.
Leadership: Your motion is ruled out of order.
Member: How is it out of order?
Leadership: Its a negotiable item.
Member: How is a motion to poll the membership negotiable or contractual?
Leadership: Its not.
Member: Then how is my motion out of order?
Leadership: Because its negotiable, its a contract item.
Member: uhhh...WHAT? Are you serious?
Leadership: yes
Member: One more time just for clarification, how is a motion to poll the membership related to the contract?
Leadership: Its not.
Member: How is a motion to the poll the membership negotiable?
Leadership: Its not.
Member: So how is the motion out of order?
Leadership: Its contractual, its a negotiable item.
Member: and your serious?
Leadership: yes
If only this was fiction!
Rights come with responsibilities, because you have the right to have your opinions fairly heard, debated and voted on, means you have the responsibility to stand up for it, when you see it being trampled on.
