Description: Congress enacted the Labor-Management Reporting and
Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), to provide for the
disclosure of information on the financial transactions and
administrative practices of labor organizations. The statute also
provides, under certain circumstances, for reporting by labor
organization officers and employees, employers, labor relations
consultants, and surety companies. Section 208 of the LMRDA authorizes
the Secretary to issue rules and regulations prescribing the form of
the required reports. The reporting provisions were devised to
implement a basic tenet of the LMRDA: The guarantee of democratic
procedures and safeguards within labor organizations that are designed
to protect the basic rights of union members. Section 205 of the LMRDA
provides that the reports are public information.
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) administers the
reporting provisions of the LMRDA to the statute (29 U.S.C. 431 et
seq.) and the implementing and interpreting regulations (29 CFR Chapter
IV).
