 WIRTZ, SECRETARY OF LABOR v. LOCAL UNION NO. 125, LABORERS' INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NORTH AMERICA, AFL-CIO
His complaint challenged the validity of a general election of union officers conducted by the respondent Local Union on June 8, 1963, and the validity of a runoff election for the single office of Business Representative made necessary by a tie vote for that office at the June 8 election.
On the facts of this case we think the Secretary is entitled to maintain his action challenging the June 8 general election because respondent union had fair notice [***9] from the violation charged by Dial in his protest of the runoff election that the same unlawful conduct probably occurred at the earlier election as well.
Surely this is not the responsible union self-government contemplated by Congress in allowing the [*485] unions great latitude in resolving their own internal controversies.

 MASON TENDERS LOCAL UNION 59, Plaintiff, - against - LABORERS'INTERNATIONAL UNION OF NORTH AMERICA
LIUNA is a national labor organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. that oversees the operations of various local unions and district councils.
The ULUC mandates that all local unions "shall recognize and be subject to all of the provisions of the International Union Constitution," and "shall comply with all such rules, regulations, policies, practices and lawful orders and decisions of the International Union, its officers and General Executive Board.
LIUNA's interpretation of its Constitution, and its requirement that the acts of the GEB must serve the "welfare and interest" of the members, cannot be said to be so "patently unreasonable" as to warrant Court intervention.

The Union asserts that, because the Agency raised this issue, it was incumbent on the Agency to prove that the grievance was not arbitrable.
The Union argues that the award is deficient because the grievance related to a pattern of prohibited personnel practices by the Agency and, as such, was arbitrable.
The Agency refutes the Union's contentions that management engaged in a prohibited personnel practice under 5 U.S.C. § 2301 and that the grievance is arbitrable under FPM chapter 511, subchapter 6-6.

 Capitano vs Laborers International Union of North America
The fact that the labor contract provides a remedy that plaintiff could pursue as an alternative to the state-law claim does not mean that pre-emption is required.
Where the labor contract imposes a duty upon the defendant to make the statements that are alleged to be defamatory, courts have repeatedly held that plaintiff's defamation claims are pre-empted.

In a union with 450,000 -5000,000 members, that the general executive board has authorized the printing of less than 10,000 copies in the last 10 years is a proposition one can go to the bank on and not lose money.
The U.S. Department of JUSTICE erred grievously in not requiring LIUNA to completely amend its constitutions, all of which were crafted by lawyers beholden to the mob to maintain organized crime's influence and control of the Laborers' International Union of North America.
LIUNA members should demand from their elected officer that they be provided a complete set of the rules, policies and procedures that govern LIUNA, including an up-to-date version of the Union's constitution.

Union Proposal 4 Article X, Sick Leave Section 4c: Employees serving under a limited appointment, or one which will be terminated on a specified date, may be advanced only the amount which they would earn during the remainder of their appointment.
Union Proposal 8 Article XXII, Grievance Procedure Section 2: For the purpose of this Article, a grievance is any matter of personal concern or dissatisfaction to an employee which is related to his employment.
Therefore, because Union Proposals 8 and 9 are inconsistent with the requirements of the Statute itself, in that they effectively bar the Agency from access to the negotiated grievance and arbitration procedure, the Agency's duty to bargain does not extend to them.
