GroundRules
29 CFR 452.51: Declaration of candidacy.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 29—Labor
- Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Labor
- CHAPTER IV—OFFICE OF LABOR-MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
- SUBCHAPTER A—LABOR-MANAGEMENT STANDARDS
- PART 452—GENERAL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE ELECTION PROVISIONS OF THE LABOR-MANAGEMENT REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1959
- Subpart E—Candidacy for Office; Reasonable Qualifications
A union may not adopt rules which in their effect discourage or paralyze any opposition to the incumbent officers. Therefore, it would not be a reasonable qualification to require members to file a declaration of candidacy several months in advance of the nomination meeting since such a requirement would have such effect and “serves no reasonable purpose which cannot otherwise be satisfied without resort to this procedure.” 31
