Finally, LM-2s are on the Internet!!
At long last, the Dep't of Labor unveiled June 3 its Internet disclosure system for unions' annual financial reports, such as the LM-2 form. The website, http://www.union-reports.dol.gov, allows easy access to union financial reports maintained by DOL's Office of Labor-Mgmt. Standards. Union members, investigative journalists, non-incumbent union candidates, employers, and anyone else may now view, via the Internet, the union reports and conduct data searches free of charge.

"What used to take weeks will now take seconds. It's a major breakthrough for holding unions and union bosses accountable," said NLPC Chairman Ken Boehm, commenting on the difficult process of securing copies of union annual reports, at the cost of the copies, from DOL before the new website became accessible. "It's free and you don't have to drive to to your local DOL office to see these reports. This will be a great resource for union members and anyone else wishing to keep track of the shenanigans that go on within unions. I encourage everyone to log on to DOL's new site today," said Boehm. "You never know what kind of corruption you might find."

Local 734's Number is 012169
