29 CFR 452.80 - Bona fide candidates.

  • Section Number: 452.80
  • Section Name: Bona fide candidates.

    A person need not be formally nominated in order to be a bona fide 
candidate entitled to exercise the rights mentioned in Secs. 452.67 and 
452.71. \41\ Thus, any qualified member seeking to be nominated and 
elected at a convention would be able to take advantage of the 
distribution rights even before the convention meets and thus attempt to 
influence members to select delegates favorable to his candidacy or to 
persuade the delegates to support his candidacy. A union may reasonably 
require that a person be nominated in
order to be elected, but may not prevent a member who actively seeks 
office and is otherwise qualified from taking advantage of the campaign 
safeguards in the Act in an effort to gain the support necessary to be 
nominated.
