Union Members Gain Immediate Access to Courts Against Their Union.
This law eliminates the requirement for union members to first complete internal union complaint procedures, which could take up to four months, before filing a lawsuit or administrative action against their union or its officers. This change grants union members faster access to the legal system, allowing them to bypass internal organizational processes when seeking justice. The goal is to expedite the resolution of disputes between members and their unions.
