Question: What is the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA)?
Answer: The LMRDA is a Federal statute that regulates certain aspects
of internal union affairs. Labor organizations comprised wholly or in part
of private sector or U.S. Postal Service employees are covered by the Act.
The LMRDA includes a Bill of Rights for union members that guarantees union
members rights such as the right to participate in union meetings and vote
in union elections. The Act also contains reporting provisions that require
unions to disclose information about their structure and financial condition,
sets forth guidelines for conducting union officer elections, and provides
safeguards for protecting labor organization funds and assets. The Department
of Labor's regulations that implement the LMRDA are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 29
CFR Parts 401-459.
