AFL-CIO sues over new financial-disclosure rule By Leigh Strope, AP
The AFL-CIO is suing the Bush administration in an effort to block a new regulation that requires the nation's largest labor unions to disclose financial details, such as how much they spend on politics, gifts and management.
The suit, against Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, was filed last week in federal court in Washington. It says Chao was 'arbitrary' and 'capricious' and exceeded 'her statutory authority' in issuing the regulation. It takes effect next year, but unions will not have to file until March 2005.
The labor federation wants the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to postpone the rule from taking effect Jan. 1 and to permanently block its implementation.------------------------------------------- posted 6:31 AM :: reference link ::
