International vice presidents typically support locals by guiding contract administration, assisting with collective bargaining, and leading membership development to grow the union. These duties center on helping locals operate and expand, while respecting local autonomy. Designating local union officers is not part of their standard responsibilities because officer selection is a local matter—elected by the local membership according to its rules. While there can be exceptional governance actions in crises, routinely appointing local officers would undermine the local’s democratic process. So the activity that isn’t within their usual scope is designating local union officers.
