    time's up:
    DOL Must Take 'Appropriate Action' In Carpenters Regional Council Election Construction Labor Report
    Labor Secretary Elaine Chao must take 'appropriate action' within 30 days consistent with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts's finding that her failure to treat the New England Regional Council of Carpenters in Boston as a 'local labor organization' was arbitrary and capricious, according to the court's most recent order in the case (Harrington v. Chao, D. Mass., No. 00-11028, 11/25/03).

    While not stated in the court order, one source familiar with the matter said Chao has three choices: rewrite her statement of reasons regarding the regional council's standing under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act, file an appeal, or order the council to conduct a rank-and-file election of officers.
