Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS)
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) of the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration administers and enforces most provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). The LMRDA was enacted primarily to ensure basic standards of democracy and fiscal responsibility in labor organizations representing employees in private industry. Unions representing U.S. Postal Service employees became subject to the LMRDA with the passage of the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. The LMRDA establishes:
OLMS also administers provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and the Foreign Service Act of 1980 relating to standards of conduct for Federal employee unions, which are comparable to LMRDA requirements. Transit Employee Protections When Federal funds are used to acquire, improve, or operate a transit system, Federal law requires arrangements to protect the rights of affected mass transit employees. The OLMS Division of Statutory Programs ensures that fair and equitable arrangements are in place before the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) can release funds to grantees. The terms and conditions of the protective arrangements are included in the grantee's contract with FTA.
