DETERMINATION
Determination of Complaints Filed under Title IV
of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959
On June 11, 2012, the Secretary of Labor received complaints alleging violations of Section 401 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), in the regularly scheduled election of officers conducted on December 7, 2010, by International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 70 in Oakland, California.
Pursuant to Sections 402 and 601 of the LMRDA, the Department of Labor conducted an investigation. The investigation disclosed that Local 70 improperly ruled certain members ineligible to vote for failing to pay dues.
Apprised of these findings, Local 70 agreed to conduct its next regularly scheduled election of officers under the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA. The agreed upon remedial election was concluded on December 4, 2013. It is, therefore,
DETERMINED, that there is probable cause to believe that violations of Title IV of the LMRDA occurred which may have affected the outcome of the election conducted by International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 70 on December 7, 2010, but that these violations have been remedied by a new election, conducted in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA, under the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, on December 4, 2013.
Therefore, civil action under Section 402(b) of the LMRDA to set aside the election conducted on December 7, 2010 is not warranted.
Signed this 27th day of March, 2014.
