May a labor organization satisfy its notification requirement by relying on notice given by an affiliated labor organization?
A. A union’s duty to provide notification may be satisfied by notice provided to its members by another labor organization. For example, if Member A is a member of Federal Union Local 1, the obligation of his or her local to provide notification is satisfied if it is provided by either Local 1, the Council of East Coast Locals (to which it is affiliated), or the National Federal Union. However, this rule does not apply to labor organizations that maintain a web site: these organizations must provide web site notification without regard to whether an affiliated union has provided written notification to its members or has published the notification on its web site.
