The ability to ask a trade union leader (President or General Secretary) to vacate their position due to serious charges depends on multiple factors, including:
Union Constitution & Rules: Most trade unions have a constitution or bylaws that outline the grounds and process for removing or suspending a leader. If the union's rules include a clause on moral turpitude or reputation, it may allow for the leader to be asked to step down.
Legal Standing: If the leader has not been convicted and the case is still under trial, legally, they may not be required to step down unless the union’s rules explicitly demand it in such circumstances.
Union Members' Decision: The governing body or executive committee of the union may decide, based on ethical grounds or for the union’s reputation, to request the leader to step aside until the case is resolved.
Moral Turpitude Clause: If the charges involve serious moral or criminal misconduct, the union leadership or members may invoke a moral turpitude clause (if applicable) to ask for temporary resignation or suspension.
Goodwill & Reputation: Even if the union’s rules do not strictly mandate resignation, the leader could be asked to voluntarily step aside in the interest of the union’s goodwill and reputation.
Precedents & Practices: If there have been past instances where leaders stepped down or were asked to resign in similar situations, that could serve as a basis for action.
Possible Actions:
Request for Voluntary Resignation: The leader can be requested to step down temporarily.
Suspension Until Verdict: The union may pass a resolution to suspend the leader until the case concludes.
Vote of No Confidence: If the union rules permit, a no-confidence motion can be passed.
Ethical Appeal: The leader may be asked to step down for the sake of the union’s image.
Final Consideration:
If the charges are not related to union matters but are serious in nature, it may still impact the union's reputation. The union members and executive body should carefully weigh the legal, ethical, and reputational aspects before making a decision.
