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.
