12 months.My sincere apologies for stating the case had been ruled on. So, it has been filed but not heard yet. Does anyone know how long it takes before it will be heard?
Question for Rat Tails...
No member whose dues have
been withheld by his employer for payment to such organization
pursuant to his voluntary authorization provided for in a
collective bargaining agreement shall be declared ineligible to
vote or be a candidate for office in such organization by reason of
alleged delay or default in the payment of dues
Is this refering to the fact that if you sign a dues check-off form and the employer allegedly delays or defaults in the payment of dues that no member shall be declared ineligible to vote or be a candidate for office? Is this what the DOL is alluding to?
If the DOL is successful, then the likely relief will be that all 10 of the agc's who just lost will be thrown on the next go around and not have to get nominations. Considering that most of the losers lost by between 1,500-2,000 votes, it wouldn't have been a given that they would have received any nominations for a third go around without successful relief.
