§463 Unlawful acts relating to labor organization under trusteeship

Summary

It stops a parent union from using a local unit’s votes or taking its money while that local is under trusteeship. The parent union cannot count delegates’ votes unless those delegates were chosen by secret ballot in an election where all members in good standing could vote. The parent also cannot take current receipts or funds from the local except the normal per‑member tax and assessments paid by locals not under trusteeship. If a local is truly dissolved, its assets may be distributed under its constitution and bylaws. Anyone who breaks these rules on purpose can be fined up to $10,000, jailed for up to one year, or both.
