“We’re not condoning the allegations or arguing that union officials are completely immune from prosecution,” said Jonathan D. Newman, a lawyer for the AFL-CIO. “Instead, we simply want to make sure that the [federal law] is not interpreted in a way that could have a chilling effect on legitimate union activity.”

Let's not confuse making the goddamned criminals chill in jail, with creating an inappropriate chilling effect.

Well, Obergruppenfuhrer Hoffa has instructed his jackbooted brownshirts to start taking Americans out. I guess it’s “legitimate” if the Obergruppenfuhrer gives the order.

Great article. It exposed the AFLCIO as legally corrupt, as well as morally corrupt.

If someone shot up an electrical transformer to the point that it leaked oil (PCBs), or drained oils (again PCBs) from a transformer, that would be a federal crime as PCBs are deadly chemicals under certain circumstances and have been outlawed for use in transformers and other electrical items for years.

Unfortunately the 1977 shooting came before PCBs were put on the hazardous materials list. The earlier Supreme Court decision (probably the Warren Court) has got to be one of the stupidest and most incompetent decisions of all time.

I hope that a new law has been passed to bypass it.

Please explain to me what “Legitimate Union Activies” might be?
