1Opinion of the Court

WELLFORD, Circuit Judge.

The Department of Labor appeals the district court’s entry of judgment in favor of plaintiffs-appellees, various union members. The district judge held as a matter of law that the Department of Labor lacked jurisdiction to compel a rerun election for a particular union office because neither the aggrieved party in the union election nor any union member had ever exhausted internal union remedies as required under § 402(a)(1) of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. § 482(a)(1) with respect to the miscount involved. We reverse.
