U.S.S.G. Ch. 2, Pt. E, Subpt. 5
LABOR RACKETEERING
Introductory Commentary
The statutes included in this subpart protect the rights of employees under the Taft–Hartley Act,
members of labor organizations under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959,
and participants of employee pension and welfare benefit plans covered under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The base offense levels for many of the offenses in this subpart have been determined by reference to analogous sections of the guidelines. Thus, the base offense levels for bribery, theft, and fraud
in this subpart generally correspond to similar conduct under other parts of the guidelines. The base
offense levels for bribery and graft have been set higher than the level for commercial bribery due to
the particular vulnerability to exploitation of the organizations covered by this subpart.
