Claim Types
Outcome
Summary judgment granted in part and denied in part. AFGE's trusteeship claims under LMRA were dismissed as moot due to the subsequent election and lifting of trusteeship. However, Bastani's LMRDA retaliation claim under Count I survives summary judgment, while Lauderdale and McCarron's claims were dismissed. The court found genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether the trusteeship was pretextual retaliation for protected speech.
