29 C.F.R. § 452.5

Current through March 31, 2024
Section 452.5 - Effect of violation on outcome

Since the remedy under section 402 is contingent upon a finding by the court, among other things, that the violation "may have affected the outcome of an election" the Secretary as a matter of policy will not file suit to enforce the election provisions unless the violations found are such that the outcome may have been affected.
