So the process is all about the content. If the content of your resolution is weak it will die a quick death, as it should be. And any scrutiny your resolution would get here would be three times worse at the meeting of a council that actually knows how to conduct union business.
I completely agree on your point, but I suppose we disagree on the venue. I don't believe that APC is the appropriate place to wordsmith a resolution.
Any resolution coming out of a local meeting should should be that council's work, not something copy and pasted from the internet, IMO. I am aware of the process guiding resolutions at the local level, but I'm sure you're also aware that LEC officers (can and do) floor resolutions on their own at MEC meetings.

On my list of priorities concerning our job, the style of the uniform is near the bottom. I'm only concerned that it's comfortable and durable.
So to paraphrase, it sounds like the new uniform is not worth your time and effort and is not a priority. However, for a fellow union member who does feel strongly you have the time to chastise and lecture. At least you have your priorities straight.
