What decision does the Constitution empower local unions regarding employer membership?

The Constitution empowers local unions to determine the status of employer membership, which means that local unions have the authority to decide whether or not to allow employers to become members. This discretion is vital because it enables unions to tailor their membership policies according to the specific needs and context of their bargaining unit and labor relations.

By allowing local unions this power, the Constitution promotes an environment where unions can negotiate effectively with employers on behalf of their members, prioritizing the interests of workers while considering the dynamics of their relationships with employers. This decision-making authority can include setting conditions under which employers may or may not be accepted as members, providing unions with essential control over their organizational structure and operations.

The options that suggest automatic revocation, requiring multiple votes, or permitting employers as members if they wish do not capture the essence of union autonomy in managing their membership composition. Instead, they imply unnecessary constraints or procedures that would undermine the unions' ability to make timely and relevant decisions regarding membership.
