Part 452

General Statement Concerning the Election Provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959

Subpart I

Election Procedures; Rights of Members

• Section Number: 452.124
• Section Name: Delegates from units which are not labor organizations.

    To the extent that units, such as committees, which do not meet the 
definition of a labor organization under the Act \55\ participate in the 
election of officers of a national or international labor organization 
or an intermediate body, through delegates to the convention or 
otherwise, the provisions of title IV are, nevertheless, applicable to 
the election of such delegates. The following example is typical in 
organizations of railway employees. The chairman of a local grievance 
committee, which is not a labor organization under the Act, is not an 
officer within the meaning of the Act. If such a local chairman is a 
delegate to the general grievance committee, which is considered to be 
an intermediate body under the Act, however, he must be elected by 
secret ballot vote of the members he represents, if he votes for 
officers of the general grievance committee.
