Form LM-2, LM -3 and LM -4 Advisory for Labor Organizations in Areas Affected by
Hurricane Katrina
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) has issued guidance for
unions in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina regarding the reporting requirements under Section
201 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA).
Due to the property damage and destruction inflicted by the storm it may be difficult or impossible
for some labor organizations in the affected areas to file timely LM-2, LM-3 or LM-4 reports.
Therefore, the Department of Labor will not take any enforcement action relating to labor organizations
whose principal offices are located in the affected areas, or those whose financial records necessary
for preparing the forms are located in those areas.
Using its enforcement discretion, OLMS will not take action before March 31, 2006 to compel the
filing of delinquent Form LM-2, LM-3, and LM-4 reports which were due on or after August 29, 2005.
The affected regions covered under this advisory are those counties officially declared disaster areas
by President George Bush.
