Above section is unconstitutional. One can not reduce the salary of an office during its term- Marbury vs Madison if I recall correctly from a constitutional law course. It also conflicts with ULUC Article IX sections 5 and 6.

    decrease the salaries of any or all officers as it deems necessary in the best interest
     of the Local.

     are to be used on a basis of 24 hours around the clock in the lines of duty in

    employee shall receive two (2) weeks paid vacation. In no event will the

    employees shall be reimbursed by the Local for any expenses incurred by them in
     connection with the performance of their duties on behalf of the Local.
