Criminal & Civil Actions
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) conducts both civil and criminal
investigations of alleged violations of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure
Act (LMRDA) and related laws. These investigations by OLMS
District Offices involve issues such as embezzlements of union funds, union
officer elections, the filing of required reports by unions and others with
OLMS, and the imposition of trusteeships over subordinate unions by a parent
body. These investigations may result in legal enforcement actions.

Voluntary Compliance Agreements
When an OLMS investigation determines that a violation occurred that may have
affected the outcome of a union election, OLMS seeks to enter into an agreement
with the union for corrective action. If this voluntary agreement is not reached,
the Secretary may file suit in federal district court to have the challenged
election overturned and have a new election held under OLMS supervision.
