Description

A federal statute disqualifies from holding union office persons convicted of any one of a set of specifically listed crimes. The list includes such serious crimes as murder, bribery, embezzlement, arson, and (relevant here) "assault which inflicts grievous bodily injury." 29 U.S.C. § 504. In 1983, Harold Lynch, the business manager of the Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local Union No. 33, attended a Union Executive Board meeting considering various charges and countercharges leveled between Lynch and two other union members. During the meeting, Lynch threatened the other two members and punched one of them in the face, breaking his nose. The federal government subsequently indicted and convicted Lynch under a labor statute that forbids "the use of force or violence, or threat of the use of force or violence" to intimidate union members in the exercise of their rights. 29 U.S.C. § 530; see United States v. Lynch, 792 F.2d 269 (1st Cir. 1986). The federal criminal code classifies this crime (which carries a maximum prison term of one year) as a "misdemeanor." 18 U.S.C. § 1.
