    Description: The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act 
(LMRDA) requires unions to file annual financial reports, and copies of 
their constitution and bylaws with the Department of Labor (DOL). Under 
certain circumstances, reports are required of union officers and 
employees, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety 
companies. Filers are required to retain supporting records for five 
years; unions are required to retain election records for one year. All 
reports are available for public disclosure. Information supplied on 
the reports may be utilized by union members to help self-govern their 
unions, by the general public, and as research material for both 
outside researches and within DOL. The information is also used to 
assist DOL and other government agencies in detecting improper 
practices on the part of labor organizations, their officers and/or 
representatives, and is used by Congress in oversight and legislative 
functions. The following is a list of the reporting forms contained in 
this information collection and their regulatory and legislative
