National Treasury Emp. Union v. U.S. D. of I.R.S

1 Citing case

  1. Natl. Treasury Emp. Union v. Dept. of Treasury

    25 F.3d 237 (5th Cir. 1994)   Cited 29 times
    Finding no standing because "the plaintiffs do not allege that any represented member of the NTEU has actually suffered any such injury as a result of the `suitability' questionnaire"

    The NTEU and Bravo also alleged that requiring employees to disclose alcohol or drug problems experienced off the job violates the employees' constitutional right to privacy by inquiring into intimate, personal matters in an overly broad manner and without substantial justification. The district court, ruling on cross-motions for summary judgment, granted judgment for the NTEU and Bravo on August 31, 1992, 843 F. Supp. 214. The court first concluded that the union had standing to assert its claims that the government had violated its members' privilege against self-incrimination and right to privacy.
