§463 Unlawful Acts Relating to Labor Organization Under Trusteeship

Summary

While a subordinate body of a labor organization is under trusteeship, you cannot count that group's delegates' votes at a convention or officer election unless those delegates were picked by secret ballot in an election open to all members in good standing. You also cannot transfer the group's current receipts or other funds to the parent organization, except the usual per-member tax and assessments that subordinate bodies not under trusteeship pay. If the group genuinely dissolves, its assets may be distributed under its constitution and bylaws. Anyone who willfully breaks these rules can be fined up to $10,000, jailed for up to one year, or both.
