Please note the date of this DOL letter to John Ward. The DOL on July
13, 2004 informed Mr. Ward that their investigation proved that the
ballots in question were indeed valid. They gave the APFA the
opportunity to open them before they were made to open them. Of
course we all know what the BOD decided to do. nothing. That is not
what the DOL expected.

Dear Mr. Ward:
Pursuant to the authority of Section 601 of the Labor-Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA) and receipt
of a complaint, this office has initiated an investigation of the run
off election of officers conducted by the Association of Professional
Flight Attendants on March 12, 2004.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the following
investigative findings:
- APFA denied the right to vote to five eligible members who were
improperly determined to be dues delinquent in violation of Section
401(e) of the LMRDA.
- APFA denied the right to vote to eleven eligible members who had
faxed applications on file in violation of Section 401(e) of the
LMRDA.
These findings are not to be construed as a final determination by
the Secretary of Labor that violations have occurred which may have
affected the outcome of the election.
Any additional evidence bearing on these investigative findings, or
any information concerning action contemplated by your organization
to remedy or otherwise address these findings should be provided to
this office on or before July 26, 2004. A final determination based
on the investigation and any information that you submit will be made
in the near future.
