1759 Boone v. Local Union 933 Election Committee
Case No: 1759
2017
Robert Boone was properly declared ineligible to run for the office of president of Local Union 933 because he is retired. The UAW has a longstanding and consistent policy barring retired members from holding local union offices that have grievance handling or bargaining responsibilities. The collective bargaining agreements covering members of Local Union 933 establish unequivocally that the local union president has such responsibilities.
