32:23-211. Prohibition against unions having officers, agents or employees who have been convicted of certain crimes and offenses
No person shall solicit, collect or receive any dues, assessments, levies, fines or contributions, or other charges within the state for or on behalf of any labor organization which receives, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of its dues, assessments, levies, fines or contributions, or other charges from persons who hold licenses issued by the commission pursuant to the airport commission compact, or for or on behalf of a labor organization which derives its charter from a labor organization which receives directly or indirectly, 20% or more of its dues, assessments, levies, fines or contributions, or other charges from persons who hold licenses issued by the commission pursuant to the airport commission compact, if any officer, agent or employee of such labor organization, or of a welfare fund or trust administered partially or entirely by such labor organization or by trustees or other persons designated by such labor organization, has been convicted by a court of the United States, or any state or territory thereof, of a felony, any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or any crime or offense enumerated in subdivision (a) of section 3 of article IV of the airport commission compact, unless he has been subsequently pardoned therefor by the Governor or other appropriate authority of the state or jurisdiction in which such conviction was had or has received a certificate of good conduct or other relief from disabilities arising from the fact of conviction from a board of parole or similar authority. No person so convicted shall serve as an officer, agent or employee of such labor organization, welfare fund or trust unless such person has been so pardoned or has received such a certificate of good conduct. No person, including such labor organization, welfare fund or trust, shall knowingly permit such convicted person to assume or hold any office, agency or employment in violation of this section.

As used in this section, the term "labor organization" shall mean and include any organization which exists and is constituted for the purpose in whole or in part of collective bargaining, or of dealing with employers concerning grievances, terms and conditions of employment, or of other mutual aid or protection; but it shall not include a federation or congress of labor organizations organized on a national or international basis even though one of its constituent labor organizations may represent persons who hold licenses issued by the commission pursuant to the airport commission compact.
