Reports Required Under the LMRDA and the CSRA
Introduction
This pamphlet provides general information about the reports that the Labor-Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA) and the Civil Service Reform
Act of 1978 (CSRA) require to be filed with the U.S. Department of Labor by
labor unions, union officers and employees, employers, labor relations consultants,
and surety companies.
The LMRDA applies to labor organizations which represent private sector employees
and U.S. Postal Service employees while the CSRA applies to labor organizations
which represent employees in most agencies of the executive branch of the
federal government. The regulations implementing the standards of conduct
provisions of the CSRA incorporate many LMRDA provisions, including those
related to labor organization reporting requirements. (Federal sector labor
organizations subject to the Foreign Service Act or the Congressional Accountability
Act are also required to file the union reports described in this pamphlet.)
All reports must be filed with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards
Administration, Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS). Each reporting
form prescribed by OLMS and the type of information to be reported are discussed
in this pamphlet. The table at the back of this pamphlet lists the name and
number of each form, the persons who are required to sign and file it, and
its due date.
This pamphlet is designed to assist those subject to the reporting requirements
of the LMRDA or the CSRA. It presents general information about the provisions
of the laws and should not be construed as an official interpretation of their
provisions. Detailed instructions concerning completion of the forms and information
to be reported are included with the reporting forms.
General Reporting Requirements
The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), and the
Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) require certain reports to be filed
with the U.S. Department of Labor.
| Who Must Report |
The reporting requirements apply to labor organizations, except state
or local central bodies and unions representing only public employees
whose employer is any state or political subdivision of a state, such
as a county or municipality. An intermediate body that is subordinate
to a national or international labor organization covered by the LMRDA,
however, is subject to the reporting requirements even if it does not
represent any private sector employees. In addition, these requirements
also apply to
- officers and employees of such unions,
- employers,
- labor relations consultants, and
- surety companies
|

|
| Recordkeeping |
Every person who is required to file a report under the LMRDA or the
CSRA, either as an individual or as an officer of a union or employer,
is responsible for maintaining records which will provide in sufficient
detail the information and data necessary to verify the accuracy and
completeness of the report. These records must be kept for at least
5 years after the date the report is filed. Any record necessary to
verify, explain, or clarify the report must be retained, including,
but not limited to, vouchers, worksheets, receipts, and applicable resolutions.
For more information about union recordkeeping, please see our fact
sheet, LMRDA Recordkeeping Requirements for Unions, at www.olms.dol.gov.

Enforcement
| Civil Enforcement |
OLMS has authority to conduct investigations concerning compliance
with the reporting requirements of the LMRDA and the CSRA. The Secretary
of Labor may file civil actions in Federal courts to restrain violations
and ensure compliance with the LMRDA reporting requirements.
Enforcement of the CSRA reporting requirements is through administrative
action which involves the filing of a complaint by OLMS, a hearing before
a Department of Labor administrative law judge, the judge's report and
recommendation, and a decision and order by the Assistant Secretary
for Employment Standards.
|
| Criminal Penalties |
The following acts are made criminal under the LMRDA:
- Willfully failing to file a report or keep required records;
- Knowingly making a false statement or representation of a material
fact or knowingly failing to disclose a material fact in a report
or other required document; and
- Willfully making a false entry in, or withholding, concealing, or
destroying documents required to be kept.
These acts are punishable by a fine of not more than $100,000, imprisonment
for not more than 1 year, or both.
Filing a false report under the CSRA is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001
punishable by a fine of not more than $250,000, imprisonment for not
more than 5 years, or both.

Union Reports
|
Form LM-1 |
Information Reports
The LMRDA and the CSRA regulations require that every covered union
adopt a constitution and bylaws and file two copies with OLMS, along
with a Labor Organization Information Report, Form LM-1, providing certain
information about the structure, practices, and procedures of the union.
Deadline. The initial information report, Form LM-1,
is due within 90 days after the union first becomes subject to the LMRDA
or the CSRA.
Signatures. Form LM-1 must be signed by the president
and secretary or corresponding principal officers of the reporting union.
Reporting Information. Form LM-1 requires information
such as:
- identification of the union
- identification of officers
- rates of dues and fees
- fiscal year ending date
Additionally, labor organizations (except Federal employee labor organizations
subject solely to the CSRA) must indicate where in the union's constitution
and bylaws certain practices and procedures are described or, if not
in the constitution, provide a detailed statement describing the practices
and procedures. Among the items to be reported are practices for:
- authorizing disbursement of funds
- selecting officers and other union representatives
- protesting a defect in the election of officers
- disciplining and removing officers
- fining, expelling, and suspending members
- ratifying contract terms

All reporting unions except Federal employee unions subject solely
to the CSRA are required to file an amended Form LM-1 to update the
information on file with OLMS if there have been any changes in the
reported practices and procedures which are not contained in the union's
constitution and bylaws. The amended Form LM-1 must be filed with the
union's annual financial report (Form LM-2, LM-3, or LM-4, as discussed
below) for the reporting period in which the change occurred.
File Number Assignment. OLMS assigns a six-digit file
number to each union filing a Form LM-1. OLMS acknowledges receipt of
each Form LM-1 and informs the union of its file number which must be
entered on its annual financial reports and on all correspondence with
OLMS.
|
| Reporting Forms |
Annual Financial Reports
Unions must file an annual financial report on one of three Labor Organization
Annual Reports, Form LM-2, LM-3, or LM-4. The three forms vary in the
level of financial details which must be reported. The filing requirements

more and those in trusteeship.
- Form LM-3– This less detailed annual report
may be filed by unions with total annual receipts of less than $250,000

Temporary Hardship Exemption. If a labor organization
experiences unanticipated technical difficulties that prevent the timely
electronic preparation and submission of the Form LM-2, the organization
may file a paper format report by the required due date. An electronic
format copy of the report must then be filed within 10 business days
after the required due date.
Continuing Hardship Exemption. If a labor organization
knows in advance that the Form LM-2 cannot be filed electronically without
undue burden or expense, it may apply in writing for a continuing hardship
exemption. The application must be received by OLMS at least 30 days
before the required due date. The application must be mailed to the
following address:
U.S. Department of Labor
ESA/OLMS, Room N-5609

- the justification for the requested time period
- a description of the burden and expense that the labor organization
would incur if it was required to make an electronic submission

|
| Simplified Annual Reports |
A local union that has no assets, liabilities, receipts, or disbursements,
and which is not in trusteeship, is not required to file an annual report
if its parent union files a simplified annual report on its behalf.
In order to be eligible for this simplified annual reporting, the local
must be governed solely by a uniform constitution and bylaws filed with
OLMS by its parent union and its members must be subject to uniform
fees and dues applicable to all members of the local unions for which
the parent union files simplified reports. The parent union must submit
annually to OLMS certain basic information about the local, including
the names of all officers, together with a certification signed by the
president and treasurer of the parent union.
If a parent body holds funds in the name of a local union and receives
and disburses funds on behalf of the local, the local is considered
to have receipts and disbursements and is not eligible to have a simplified
annual report filed on its behalf by the national organization.
Terminal Labor Organization Reports
Any union which has gone out of existence by disbanding, merging into
another organization, or being merged and consolidated with one or more
labor organizations to form a new organization must file a terminal
report.
The terminal report must be filed on Form LM-2 if the union filed its
last annual report on Form LM-2. It may be filed on Form LM-3 if the
union filed its last annual report on Form LM-3, and its total receipts
for the part of the fiscal year during which it was in existence were
less than $250,000. It may be filed on Form LM-4 if the union filed
its last annual report on Form LM-4, and its total receipts for the
part of the fiscal year during which it was in existence were less than
$10,000.
Deadline. The terminal report should be filed within
30 days after the effective date of the union's termination or loss
of reporting identity.
Signatures. The terminal report, Forms LM-2, LM-3,
or LM-4, must be signed by the president and treasurer or corresponding
principal officers who were serving at the time of termination.
Reporting Information. This report must contain a
detailed statement of the circumstances and effective date of the union's
termination or loss of reporting identity. A union which is absorbed
into another must report the name, address, and file number of the union
into which it has been merged. The terminal report must reflect the
union's financial condition at the time of termination or loss of reporting
identity, must describe plans for the disposition of the organization's
cash and other assets, and must cover the period from the beginning
of the fiscal year through the date of termination.
Trusteeship Reports
"Trusteeship" is defined in the LMRDA as "any receivership,
trusteeship, or other method of supervision or control whereby a labor
organization suspends the autonomy otherwise available to a subordinate
body under its constitution or bylaws."
Reporting Forms. Trusteeship reports must be filed
using the following forms:
- Form LM-15 - Trusteeship Report
- Form LM-16 - Terminal Trusteeship Report
- Form LM-15A - Report on Selection of Delegates and Officers
Signatures. All trusteeship reports on Forms LM-15,
LM-15A, and LM-16 and the Form LM-2 filed on behalf of a trusteed subordinate
union must be signed by the president and treasurer or corresponding
principal officers of the parent union and by the trustees of the subordinate
union.
|
| Form LM-15 |
Initial Reports. Within 30 days after imposing a trusteeship
over a subordinate union, the parent union must file an initial Trusteeship
Report, Form LM-15, to disclose the reasons for the trusteeship, when
it was established, the financial condition of the trusteed union at
the time the trusteeship was established, and other required information.
Semiannual Reports. Within 30 days after the end of
each 6-month period for the duration of the trusteeship, the parent
union must file a semiannual report, on Form LM-15, explaining its reasons
for continuing the trusteeship.
Annual Financial Reports. For the duration of the
trusteeship, the parent union must file an annual financial report on
Form LM-2 on behalf of the trusteed subordinate union within 90 days
after the end of the trusteed union's fiscal year.
If the trusteed union made any changes during the reporting year in
the practices and procedures listed in the instructions for Item 18
of the Form LM-2, the parent union must file an amended Form LM-1 with
the Form LM-2.
|
| Form LM-16 |
Terminal Reports. Within 90 days after the termination
of the trusteeship, or the loss of identity as a reporting organization
by the trusteed union, the parent union must file a Terminal Trusteeship
Report, Form LM-16, disclosing: the date and method of terminating the
trusteeship; the names, titles, and method of selecting the subordinate
union's officers; and other required information. A terminal trusteeship
financial report on Form LM-2 must also be filed within 90 days after
the termination of the trusteeship.
|
| Form LM-15A |
Report on Selection of Delegates and Officers. Form
LM-15A must be filed with an initial, semiannual, or terminal trusteeship
report if, during the period covered by the report, there was any:
- convention or other policy-determining body to which the subordinate
union sent delegates or would have sent delegates if not in trusteeship;
or
- election of officers of the union which imposed the trusteeship
over the subordinate union.
The extent of the trusteed union's participation or nonparticipation
in any such convention or election must be detailed on the Form LM-15A.
Other Requirements
The LMRDA requires every labor organization to:
- make available to all of its members information contained in all
reports which must be filed with OLMS; and
- permit members, for just cause, to examine any books, records,
and accounts necessary to verify such reports.
Members must file suit in state or Federal court to enforce these requirements.
The CSRA contains similar provisions which are enforced by OLMS.
