  CHAPTER IV--OFFICE OF LABOR-MANAGEMENT STANDARDS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 452_GENERAL STATEMENT CONCERNING THE ELECTION PROVISIONS OF THE 
LABOR-MANAGEMENT REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE ACT OF 1959--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart C_Coverage of Election Provisions
 
Sec. 452.22  Delegates to a convention.

    Under certain circumstances, delegates to a convention of a national 
or international labor organization, or to an intermediate body, must be 
elected by secret ballot among the members in good standing of the labor 
organization they represent even though such delegates are not 
``officers'' of the organization. Such election is required by the Act 
\19\ when the delegates are to nominate or elect officers of a national 
or international labor organization, or of an intermediate body. There 
is, of course, no requirement that delegates be elected in accordance 
with the provisions of title IV if they do not nominate or elect 
officers, unless delegates are designated as ``officers'' in the union's 
constitution and bylaws or unless, by virtue of their position, they 
serve as members of the executive board or similar governing body of the 
union.
