So long as such action is conducted in accordance with section 101(a)(5), a union may, for example, if its constitution and bylaws so provide, bar from office for a period of time any member who is guilty of specific acts, such as strikebreaking, detrimental to the union as an institution. However, if a union has improperly disciplined a member and barred him from candidacy, the Secretary may, in an appropriate case, treat him as a member in good standing entitled to all of the rights of members guaranteed by title IV.","path":["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"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-29.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:20Z","sha256":"8f82fcf580eaa2c3681fa2c60bfc22400a90c5fbbb5ca39c0546bbe5adf70f59","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/29-cfr-452.49","next":"us/29-cfr-452.51"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
