Practice question
A union’s bylaws give a suspended member an appeal to the executive board. He timely files it, but officers ignore it and treat the suspension as final solely to prevent his candidacy. Which is best?
- The officers must respect the governing appeal process; autonomy does not justify ignoring it
- An appeal exists only if the president personally approves
- Timely appeal is always meaningless
- Election proximity eliminates procedural duties
- A member has no remedy for breach of the bylaws
