Statement of Reasons
For Dismissing Complaints Concerning the Trusteeship imposed on
Local 4056, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO,
On December 22, 2014 in Tampa, Florida
Members in good standing of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), Local 4056 (Local 4056), filed complaints, on April 21 and April 23, 2015, with the Secretary of Labor alleging that the trusteeship imposed on Local 4056 by AFGE was not established in accordance with the union’s constitution and bylaws, and violated Title III of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. § 462.
The Department’s investigation established that on June 29, 2015, AFGE National Secretary-Treasurer filed a Union Termination Record (Form OLMS 25) informing the Department that Local 4056 has ceased to exist. Therefore, any questions regarding the validity of the trusteeship are moot.
Accordingly, the Department has concluded that this matter does not require any further action and we are closing our file on it.

Dear Mr. Cox:
This is to advise you of the disposition of a complaint filed with the Secretary of Labor alleging that violations of Title III of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), as made applicable to elections of federal sector unions by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA), 5 U.S.C. § 7120(d) and 29 C.F.R. § 458.26, occurred with respect to a trusteeship imposed by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), over Local 4056, in Tampa, Florida.
An investigation was conducted by the Office of Labor-Management Standards. After carefully reviewing the investigative findings, and after consulting with the Solicitor of Labor, we have determined that legal action is not warranted in this case. We are, therefore, closing our file as of this date.
The basis for this decision is set forth in the enclosed Statement of Reasons.
Sincerely,
Sharon Hanley
