  • I will settle my differences with union colleagues within the union.

  • I will not participate with any administration that criticize or negatively speculate about a union colleague.

  • I will engage in debate, offer others every opportunity for debate and respect minorty viewpoints, but I will observe and support the majority mandate of my union.
