 Breaking with SBTA policy, the delegates agreed to include specialty unions (such as the Slate Roofers, the Composite Roofers, the Soft Stone Cutters and Granite Cutters).The delegates also agreed to a proportional representation scheme, with each union getting one delegate for every 4,000 members.Delegates also agreed to formally push for the creation of state and local building trades councils, although they refused to give these bodies a vote at department conventions.
