DETERMINATION
Determination of Complaints Filed under Title IV
of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959
On September 13, 2010, 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 May 14, 2010, by Stage and Picture Operators Local 600 in Los Angeles, California.
Pursuant to Sections 402 and 601 of the LMRDA, the Department of Labor conducted an investigation. The investigation disclosed that the local may have violated Section 401(e) of the LMRDA in that members were not provided with adequate notice and opportunity to satisfy the working-at-the-trade requirement when it was improperly applied retroactively.
Apprised of these findings, Stage and Picture Operators Local 600 agreed to conduct a new election of officersunder the supervision of the Secretary of Labor, in accordance with Title IV of the LMRDA. The agreed upon remedial election was concluded on June 24, 2011. 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 Stage and Picture Operators Local 600 on May 14, 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 June 24, 2011.
Therefore, civil action under Section 402(b) of the LMRDA to set aside the election conducted on May 14, 2010 is not warranted.
Signed this 2nd day of August, 2011.
