Department of Labor

In 1959, Congress passed the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), and it has since amended the act every so often. The office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) in the Department of Labor administers and enforces most of the LMRDA provisions. The Department of Labor website says, “The law was enacted by Congress primarily to ensure basic standards of democracy and financial integrity in labor organizations representing employees in private industry.”

When a group of workers forms a labor organization (a 501c5), it must file a LM-1 form, which outlines its basic by-laws, officers, and so forth. Then every year thereafter it must file either an LM-2, LM-3, or an LM-4, depending on its amount of revenue. Over the years, the reporting requirements on unions have become increasingly burdensome, as some in Congress have sought to undermine them.
