The CAW rewrites its union constitution

The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) wanted to redo their constitution
so that activists and members could understand it. In 1991, the
Executive Board set up a committee that represented the various
facets of the union and included staff whose jobs involved interpreting
the constitution. The committee of 12 worked for one year with a clear
language consultant to prepare a draft of the new constitution in English
and French. After another year's experience using the draft, the new
constitution was adopted at the CAW's 1994 convention.
