29 CFR 452.81 - Rights in intermediate body elections.
- 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.
