DETERMINATION
Determination of a Complaint Filed under Title IV
of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959
On July 6, 2010, the Secretary of Labor received a complaint 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 February 19, 2010, by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1357 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Pursuant to Sections 402 and 601 of the LMRDA, the Department of Labor conducted an investigation. The investigation disclosed that individuals who were not eligible for membership voted.
Apprised of this finding, IBEW Local 1357 agreed to conduct a new election and installation for the positions of third Honolulu Executive Board Member and third international convention delegate under the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA. The agreed upon remedial election was concluded on October 26, 2010. It is, therefore,
DETERMINED, that there is probable cause to believe that a violation of Title IV of the LMRDA occurred which may have affected the outcome of the election conducted by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1357 on February 19, 2010, but that this violation has been remedied by the new election, conducted in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA, under the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, on October 26, 2010.
Therefore, civil action under Section 402(b) of the LMRDA to set aside the election conducted on February 19, 2010 is not warranted.
Signed this 30th day of November, 2010.
