Article XX and XXI Cases

During 2011, the IBEW was involved in one dispute under Article XX of the AFL-CIO Constitution, Manhattan College, in Riverdale, New York, (UNITE/HERE and IBEW Local Union 1158). UNITE/HERE has been handbilling outside Gourmet Dining operations at various universities in New Jersey. The IBEW has filed counter-charges against UNITE/HERE, arguing that this conduct violates Article XX, Sections 2 & 3. A mediation of this dispute was held on January 11, 2012. There were no disputes involving organizing responsibilities under Article XXI. IP Hill reported those two issues and discussed the parameters with the IEC.
