Summary
Federal authorities have launched a formal complaint against the Boston Musicians’ Association, alleging rigged December elections that unfairly disqualified some candidates while letting others with similar dues issues stay in the race — directly altering outcomes for key leadership positions. The Department of Labor demands a supervised redo, citing clear union bylaws and legal standards for fair elections. A saxophonist’s unopposed win for treasurer, despite his own overdue dues, exemplifies the alleged inconsistency. The case is now in federal court in Boston, with no hearing date set — raising serious questions about union integrity and procedural fairness.
