INTERNATIONAL OFFICER CANDIDATE CAMPAIGN LITERATURE
This issue of Teamster, and Teamsters Canada Supplement, publishes campaign literaturefrom accredited candidates for International office.
The IBT is holding its International officer election. Delegates are being elected to the 30th International Convention from every local, general committee of adjustment and system feder-ation in the International. The delegates will vote by secret ballot to nominate candidates forInternational office and, in the fall of 2021, every member will get to vote, by secret ballot, todecide the contested International officer positions.
The 2021 Election Rules give accredited candidates the right to publish campaign literature inthis issue of Teamster. Accredited candidates also have the right to obtain a union member-ship list and to use it for the International officer campaign.
THE CAMPAIGN LITERATURE PUBLISHED HERE IS NOT REVIEWED OR MODIFIED BY EITHER THEIBT OR THE OFFICE OF THE ELECTION SUPERVISOR. The candidates are solely responsible forthe content of their campaign literature. The campaign literature does not in any way reflectthe views of the IBT, any affiliated Unions, or the Office of the Election Supervisor (OES). Thismaterial comes to you straight from the accredited candidates.
WHAT IS AN ACCREDITED CANDIDATE? An “accredited candidate” is a candidate seeking International office who has demonstrated support among the Union membership at a levelset by the 2021 Election Rules. To achieve accredited status, the candidate must obtain signa-tures from at least 2.5% of the IBT membership eligible to vote for that office. OES publishedon June 1, 2020 the number of signatures required for accreditation (for example, at least32,533 unique member signatures to become an accredited candidate for an at-large Interna-tional office). Candidates collect signatures and submit them to the OES for validation. In September, 2020, 41 candidates were accredited by this process. Since that date, the IBT announced a change in the number of IBT Regional Vice-Presidents, adding one position to theWestern Region and reducing the Central Region by one (this recalculation, based on member-ship statistics, is required by the IBT Constitution). Two candidates seeking nomination forWestern Region Vice-President submitted signature petitions in December 2020 and receivedaccreditation. You can look up the candidate accreditation notices at www.ibtvote.org.
WHY IS THIS LITERATURE SENT TO ALL IBT MEMBERS? Candidate material is distributed to encourage the informed participation of all members in the International officer election, andto promote a fair, honest and open process. Learn more about the International officer candi-dates who will seek nomination at the IBT convention, and use this information to learn moreabout your local union’s convention delegate candidates.

IMPRESOS SOBRE LA CAMPAÑA DE CANDIDATO A DIRIGENTE DE LA IBT INTERNATIONAL
Este número de Teamster, y el Suplemento de Teamsters Canada, publican impresos de campañaproveniente de candidatos acreditados para ocupar cargos en la IBT International.
La IBT está celebrando su elección de dirigente internacional. Los delegados son elegidos para la30ª Convención Internacional de cada comité general local y de ajuste y de la federación de sistemaen la IBT Internacional. Los delegados votarán por votación secreta con objeto de nominar can-didatos para cargos en la oficina de la IBT Internacional y, en el otoño de 2021, cada miembro ten-drá derecho a votar, por votación secreta, para decidir sobre los cargos de dirigentesinternacionales en disputa.
El Reglamento Electoral de 2021 da a los candidatos acreditados el derecho de publicar bibliografíade campaña en este número de Teamster. Los candidatos acreditados también tienen el derechode obtener una lista de membresía sindical y de utilizarla para la campaña de dirigentes interna-cionales.
LA BIBLIOGRAFÍA DE CAMPAÑA PUBLICADA AQUÍ NO ES REVISADA O MODIFICADA NI POR LAIBT NI POR LA OFICINA DEL SUPERVISOR DE ELECCIONES. Los candidatos son los únicos respon-sables del contenido de su bibliografía de campaña. La bibliografía de la campaña no refleja enmodo alguno los puntos de vista de la IBT, de ningún sindicato afiliado o de la Oficina del Supervi-sor de Elecciones (OSE). Este material les llega directamente de los candidatos acreditados.
¿QUÉ ES UN CANDIDATO ACREDITADO? Un “candidato acreditado” es un candidato que se pos-tula para un cargo en la oficina de la IBT Internacional y que ha demostrado que tiene apoyo entrelos miembros del Sindicato a un nivel establecido por el Reglamento Electoral de 2021. Para alcan-zar la condición de acreditado, el candidato debe obtener firmas de al menos el 2.5% de los miem-bros de la IBT elegibles para votar por ese cargo. La Oficina del Supervisor de Elecciones (OSE)publicó el 1 de junio de 2020 el número de firmas necesarias para la acreditación (por ejemplo, almenos 32,533 firmas miembros para convertirse en un candidato acreditado para cualquiera oficinade la IBT Internacional). Los candidatos recogen firmas y las envían a la OSE para su validación.En septiembre de 2020, 41 candidatos fueron acreditados por este proceso. Desde esa fecha, la IBTanunció un cambio en el número de vicepresidentes regionales de la IBT, añadiendo un puesto a laRegión Occidental y reduciendo la Región Central mediante la eliminación de uno (este nuevo cál-culo, basado en las estadísticas de membresía, es requerido por la Constitución de la IBT). Dos candidatos que buscaban nominación para el cargo de vicepresidente de la Región Occidental presentaron peticiones de firma en diciembre de 2020 y recibieron acreditación. Puede consul-tar los avisos de acreditación de los candidatos en www.ibtvote.org
¿POR QUÉ SE ENVÍA ESTA BIBLIOGRAFÍA A TODOS LOS MIEMBROS DE LA IBT? El material delos candidatos se distribuye para fomentar la participación bien documentada de todos los miem-bros en la elección para dirigentes de la oficina de la IBT Internacional y para promover un procesojusto, honesto y abierto. Obtenga más información sobre los candidatos a dirigentes de la oficinade la IBT Internacional que buscarán la nominación en la convención de la IBT, y use esta informaciónpara obtener más información sobre los candidatos delegados de su Sindicato a la convención.
