Does the Court have jurisdiction to grant declaratory relief under the LMRDA?

Plaintiffs next assert that the court had jurisdiction under 501 of the LMRDA, 29 U.S.C. 501. For purposes of analysis, the court first assumed that it had jurisdiction over appellants' claim for injunctive relief under this section and then dismissed the claim. Citing Federal R.Civ.Pro. 19 and Lomayaktewa v. Hathaway, 520 F.2d 1324 (9th Cir. 1975), the court found that, after weighing the various salient factors, the failure to join an indispensable party required dismissal. The court then reviewed the appellants' claim for declaratory relief, held that 501 provided a basis for jurisdiction, but granted summary judgment in favor of appellees.
