How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- rejecting the lower court's remedy for a LMRDA violation in part because the court “fail[ed] to consider the incumbents' possible influence on the new election”
- noting a “long-standing policy against unnecessary [federal] intrusion into internal union affairs”
- “... Congress, although committed to minimal intervention [in the internal affairs of a union], was obviously equally committed to making that intervention, once warranted, effective in carrying out the basic aim of Title IV.”
- LMRDA represents congressionally struck balance of “how best to legislate against revealed abuses in union elections without departing needlessly from [Congress’s] long- 4 standing policy against unnecessary governmental intrusion into internal union affairs.”
