Labor organizations are required to notify members of an election of officers. Must the notice of member rights be included with this notice of officer elections?
A. A labor organization is permitted, but not required, to include such notice with the organization’s statutorily-required notice of election of officers if such notice is mailed to members at least every three years. If such notification is given through a union publication, it must be presented with sufficient prominence to attract the attention of a member receiving the publication. Typically, this will require conspicuous placement of the notice on the front page of the publication or a conspicuous reference on the front page to the inside page where the notice appears.
