Part 452

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

Subpart G

Campaign Safeguards

• Section Number: 452.81
• Section Name: Rights in intermediate body elections.

    While the literal language in section 401(c) relating to 
distribution of campaign literature and to discrimination with respect 
to the use of membership lists would seem to apply only to national, 
international and local labor organizations, two United States District 
Courts have held that these provisions also apply to intermediate 
bodies. \42\ The Department of Labor considers these rulings to be 
consistent with the intent of Congress and, therefore, has adopted this 
position.
