John M. Burch v. International Association of MacHinists and Aerospace Workers, Afl-Cio

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The judgment of the district court, 337 F.Supp. 303 is affirmed. See Local Rule 21. 1 That court’s finding that the termination of Burch’s membership was arbitrary and discriminatory is not clearly erroneous. Moreover, the district court properly construed the “appropriate relief” provision of the Landrum-Griffin Act to permit the award of attorney’s fees in this case. 29 U.S.C. § 412; Gartner v. Soloner, 3 Cir. 1967, 384 F.2d 348, cert, den’d 390 U.S. 1040, 88 S.Ct. 1633, 20 L.Ed.2d 302.
