Section
1.
|
The
provisions of these By-Laws relating to the payment of dues,
assessments, fines or penalties, etc., shall not be constructed
as incorporating into any union-security contract those
requirements for good standing membership which may be in
violation of applicable law, nor shall they be construed as
requiring any employer to violate any applicable law.
However, all such financial obligations imposed by or
under the International Constitution and these Local Union
By-Laws shall be legal obligations of the members upon whom
imposed and enforceable in a court of law.

Section
2.
|
If
any provision of these Local Union By-Laws shall be declared
invalid or inoperative, by any competent authority of the
executive, judicial or administrative branch of federal or state
government, the Executive Board shall have the authority to
suspend the operation of such provision during the period of its
invalidity and to substitute in its place and stead a provision
which will meet the objections to its validity and which will be
in accord with the intent and purpose of the invalid provision.
If any Article or Section should be held invalid by
operation of law or by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction,
the remainder of these Local Union By-Laws or the application of
such Article or Section to persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it has been held invalid, shall not be
affected thereby.
