The Landrum-Griffin Act, also known as the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), was enacted in 1959 to regulate internal union affairs and protect union members' rights. It requires unions to hold democratic elections, file financial reports, and disclose information to members. It also prohibits the use of union funds for personal gain and imposes criminal penalties for certain illegal actives. If John's suspicions are correct, the union is violating provisions of the Landrum-Griffin Act by not allowing members to fully participate in meetings and making decisions secretly.
