Then go to the Deltanet and read the Delta social media policy (middle right of the page I think).

However, I do not think either of these is a showstopper for having online union meetings with feedback. The union meetings would just have to fit within the framework of the two above policies which could be done by having the meeting proctored.
Agreed. C44 has started by taping and posting the officer reports and a few others things that would not cause heartburn by the company or the association if they were copied and posted somewhere else.

Like I have stated, they are actively looking for a positive solution and outcome to this.
Heck a year ago we did not have Facebook and Twitter pages, and now we could watch the BOD election winner results on both. It may not be the progress we want as an end state, but it is significant progress from where we were.

The problem with proctoring a meeting is that if the by laws were changed to allow this and some portion was deleted out, there would no doubt be someone that had an issue with what was deleted. It may end up being a short term solution though. Another issue is getting the internet capability to live feed this stuff. Places that have that ability generally cost more than where the current meeting take place.
