Practice question
A member seeks ordinary inspection of the union books during office hours under Article 250(m). Officers refuse solely because the member lacks twenty-percent written support for a government visitorial-finance complaint. How should the two mechanisms be distinguished?
- Every member inspection requires twenty-percent support
- The individual inspection right is distinct from the government visitorial inquiry’s support condition
- Only the employer may inspect any records
- A visitorial threshold repeals all individual rights
- No financial records may ever be seen
