The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Judicial Panel Chair has ordered District Council 37 Civil Service Technical Guild Local 375 to re-run a December officers’ election because of improper practices by the local’s president.

The Feb. 24 ruling is the most recent controversy in the 7,000-member local. It followed a reprimand last month for Local 375 president Claude Fort, who was ousted by AFSCME in 2010 for failing to assign office space and release time to newly-elected officers. He won back his position in early 2013 and was re-elected in December.
