How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that uncompensated use of employer’s trailer as billboard for campaign posters without employer’s knowledge violated LMRDA
• hypothesizing a situation where the union could easily demonstrate that its violation did not affect the outcome of the election where the Secretary’s claim is simply that 20 union members voted twice, and the union contends that the winners’ margin of victory was 2000 votes
• twelve members’ affidavits could raise “some doubt as to the effect of the violation,” but were “not sufficient to rebut the Secretary’s prima facie case that the secret ballot ‘may have’ affected the outcome of the election”
• candidate eligibility regulations entitled to great weight
