1Opinion of the Court
EBEL, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, 1 we address whether a union violated the freedom of speech and assembly provision of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), see 29 U.S.C. § 411(a)(2), when it suspended one of its members for assisting a rival union’s adversarial effort to prompt a representation election and displace it as incumbent. After considering the pertinent statutory authority and associated case law, we hold that the disciplinary action taken by the union was a reasonable defense of its institutional integrity and, therefore, permissible under § 411(a)(2).
