(LMRDA), a statute that establishes basic standards of labor union democracy and financial integrity, as well as labor-management transparency. See <a href="/agencies/olms/about">About OLMS</a> and <a href="/agencies/olms/compliance-assistance/union-information">Union Resources</a> for further information. OLMS makes its work publicly available to ensure that workers, employers, policy makers, and the public have access to information on our enforcement activities concerning union officer elections, union trusteeships, union finances, and employer activities designed to persuade employees regarding their rights to form or not form a union at their workplace. In doing so, OLMS helps empower union members and strengthen their unions so they may fulfill the important role they play in the modern American economy. It also helps workers make informed decisions about whether they want to form, join, or assist a union.

In addition, employers and labor relations consultants engaged in persuading employees regarding union organizing and other campaigns, and surveilling them, file reports (Forms LM 10, 20, and 21), and union officers and employees file conflict-of-interest reports (Form LM-30) under certain circumstances, reflecting various of their financial transactions and agreements.
