George M. Lee v. Galleria Loop Note Holder LLC

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that whether rules set by a union’s constitution and bylaws were reasonable and valid is a question separate from whether a right guaranteed by § 101(a)(1) was violated
• explaining that the equal rights provision is “no more than a command that members and classes of members shall not be discriminated against in their right to nominate and vote”
• dismissing complaint alleging violations of nominating rights because bylaw applied even-handedly to all union members and action was really a Title IV complaint
• requiring a union member to show that he or she was denied rights under § 411(a), and that these rights are accorded to other union members
• further noting that even this right is “‘subject to reasonable rules and regulations’ by the union.”
• exclusivity of Title IV applies to challenges to a union’s eligibility requirements for candidates for office but not to the union’s discriminatory application of those requirements
