DETERMINATION

Determination of Complaints Filed under Title IV
of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959


On March 25, 2015, 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 3, 2014, by Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 192 in Oakland, California.

Pursuant to Sections 402 and 601 of the LMRDA, the Department of Labor conducted an investigation. The investigation disclosed that members were denied the right to vote when retirees were not provided a delegate ballot and when probationary members were not allowed to vote.

Apprised of these findings, ATU Local 192 agreed to conduct a new 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 November 24, 2015. 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 Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 192 on December 3, 2014, but that these violations have been remedied by the new election, conducted in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA, under the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, on November 24, 2015.

Therefore, civil action under Section 402(b) of the LMRDA to set aside the election conducted on December 3, 2014 is not warranted.

Signed this 23rd day of February, 2016.
