30th International Convention January 6, 2021
It is with regret that we advise that the General Executive Board has determined that the pandemic
will prevent the International Union from conducting the 30th International Convention in-person.
While we are hopeful that the new vaccines will be distributed and administered to much of the
public before June, many people responsible for conducting an in-person Convention need to be in
Las Vegas within the next few weeks to make the necessary arrangements. After we have all worked
so hard over these months to protect our members by providing PPE and forcing employers to act
responsibly, we cannot put delegates and convention planners at risk. Nor can we predict that it
will be safe to travel to Las Vegas in June, or that regulations in Nevada will permit such a large
gathering.
You will soon be receiving the Official Convention Call. It will set forth the procedural
accommodations that will be in effect for this Convention, to the extent we can anticipate at this
time. Additional adjustments may be necessary depending on the future course of the pandemic and
governmental regulations. There will not be any changes to the Constitutional provisions for
electing delegates or the basis for determining representation from Locals, Joint Councils
