29 U.S.C. § 483 — Application of other laws; existing rights and remedies; exclusiveness of remedy for challenging election
submitted 67 years ago by Pub. L. 86-257 to r/title-29-LABOR · 87 words · no verdicts yet
This law does not force unions to hold elections more often or differently than their own rules require. It doesn't touch existing rights to enforce a union's rules before an election happens. But challenging an election that already happened must go through this law only.
No labor organization has to hold officer elections more often, or in a different form or manner, than its own constitution or bylaws require — except as this subchapter otherwise provides.
This subchapter does not affect existing rights and remedies to enforce a union's constitution and bylaws about elections, when those rights and remedies are used before the election takes place.
But once an election has already happened, the only way to challenge it is the remedy this subchapter provides. That remedy is exclusive.
No labor organization shall be required by law to conduct elections of officers with greater frequency or in a different form or manner than is required by its own constitution or bylaws, except as otherwise provided by this subchapter. Existing rights and remedies to enforce the constitution and bylaws of a labor organization with respect to elections prior to the conduct thereof shall not be affected by the provisions of this subchapter. The remedy provided by this subchapter for challenging an election already conducted shall be exclusive.
