Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit August 20, 1980, Nos. 79-2587, 79-2780 (Pawlak v. Greenawalt)

OPINION OF THE COURT

ADAMS, Circuit Judge.

The principal issue presented on this appeal is whether the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, 29 U.S.C.- §§ 401-531 (1976), prevents a union from fining one of its members, pursuant to a provision in the union’s constitution, for suing the union without first exhausting internal union procedures.
