Actually, that's not true. Under the LMRDA, there can be no restriction on the communication a local union representative has with their constituents. As a matter of fact, the other way around, interfering with a representative's communication is a sure way to get into really serious trouble with the Department of Labor.
Now is it good sense to run it through the lawyers, probably, but required? No.
