I. Agency Mission and Purpose:
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) mission is to administer provisions
of the Labor-Management Reporting
and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), which primarily establishes
standards for labor union democracy and financial integrity and requires reporting
and public disclosure of union reports. OLMS strives toward the elimination
or prevention of improper or corrupt practices by labor unions and their officers
and representatives, combats those serious violations of the LMRDA and related
acts covering Federal employee unions which interfere with democratic procedures
within labor organizations, and helps unions improve their organizational and
administrative effectiveness. OLMS also has the mission to protect mass-transit
employees who may be affected by Federal funds as outlined in 49 U.S.C. §5333(b),
commonly referred to as Section 13(c) of the Federal Transit law.
II. Description and Identification of the Customers
and the Services Provided:
We provide public access to labor union information and financial reports filed
with the Department.

Disclosure

and pledges to:
