The classification was established in 1977 when investigations of several Hobbs Act violations were separated from classification 92-Anti-Racketeering and new classifications 192 through 195 established. Normally subject in Hobbs Act - Labor investigations obstruct the movement of interstate commerce by means of robbery or estortion, conspire to obstruct interstate commerce, or commit or threaten violence to a person or property in violation of the Hobbs Act. The applicability of the act in labor cases arises out of two basic situtions; a legitimate labor goal (eg. wage increase) is purused by illegal means (eg. violence), or apparently legal means (eg. a peaceful strike) are used to pursue illegal objectives (eg. the personal financial enrichment of a union official). Before proceeding with investigations, all complaints received in Field Offices are discussed with the appropriate U.S. Attorney to determine if further investigation is required. Field offices immediately inform Headquarters of all complaints received on prominent labor officials or which would likely generate national attention. In all cases, within 30 days Field Offices must inform Headquarters, normally by a letterhead memorandum, or the complaint and summarize the investigation. At the discretion of the Special Agent in Charge additional LHMs can be submitted periodically. When the investigation is completed the Field Office must submit a Prosecutive Summary Report or a LHM summarizing the investigation and the results of the case.
