The local has agreed to conduct new nominations, if necessary, and a new election under OLMS supervision for the offices of business manager, vice president, recording secretary, financial secretary, treasurer, three trustees, and three auditors. The agreement follows an investigation by the OLMS Detroit District Office.

On January 9, 2008, the Department accepted a voluntary compliance
agreement from Sindicato de Guardias de Seguridad de Puerto Rico, a local labor
union in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. The agreement calls for the Department to
supervise an election for local union officers on or before March 31, 2008.
The agreement stems from the union’s failure to conduct an officer election
within three years of its last regular election. The agreement follows an investigation
by the OLMS Atlanta District Office.
