00-3162 Konen v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 200

By: dmc-admin//July 2, 2001//

Listen to this article

“Konen authored and submitted to Union officials a document containing

baseless allegations of serious criminal misconduct by Company and Union

officials. When the Company terminated him, Konen offered his Union no

defense for his actions, except an apology and an admission that he was

wrong to have produced and submitted the bribery allegations. The Union

was justified in not challenging his termination based on this conduct,

and thus Konen’s LMRA claim fails. Konen’s LMRDA claim is also

unavailing because he was never disciplined by Local 200, as he always

maintained all of the rights and status of a full Union member, and

there is no evidence that the Union caused his termination.”

Affirmed.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

Wisconsin, Clevert, J., Manion, J.
