Article XX and XXI Cases

During the first quarter of 2015, the IBEW settled one Article XX dispute, Case No. 14-12, International Line Builders, Inc. (LIUNA and IBEW) and objected to the United Steelworkers' request to register a strategic campaign under Article XXI's Strategic Campaign Registration Program for Tesla "Gigafactory"—currently under construction in Reno, Nevada. To date, the AFL-CIO has not acted on the USW's registration request.
