Special Thanks to Hierofont for providing all of these LM reports to us..
21 states have failed to file timely reports and the last available report for each of those states is 2008. Those states are Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. Hawaii and Alaska are unincorporated and do not file reports.
The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) grants certain rights to union members and protects their interests by promoting democratic procedures within labor organizations. The LMRDA establishes the following:
- Bill of Rights for union members
- Reporting requirements for labor organizations, union officers and employees, employers, labor-relations consultants, and surety companies
- Standards for the regular election of union officers
- Safeguards for protecting labor organization funds and assets
Reporting Requirements
- Unions must file information reports, constitutions and bylaws, and annual financial reports with OLMS.
- Officers and employees of labor unions must report any loans and benefits received from, or certain financial interests in, employers whose employees their unions represent and businesses that deal with their unions.
- Employers and labor-relations consultants who engage in certain activities to persuade employees about their union activities or to supply information to the employer must file reports.
- Surety companies that issue bonds required by the LMRDA or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act must report data such as premiums received, total claims paid, and amounts recovered.
- The Secretary of Labor has authority to enforce the reporting requirements of the LMRDA.
- The reports and documents filed with OLMS are public information and any person may examine them or obtain copies at OLMS offices or via the OLMS Internet Public Disclosure Room at www.union-reports.dol.gov.
- Filers must retain the records necessary to verify the reports for at least five years after the reports are filed.
- Unions must make reports available to members and permit members to examine records for just cause.

of course the union would rather try and save a few jobs than look at the big picture, usps is in trouble and needs an overhaul. 5 day would save enough money to save this company
Under LMRDA, is there anything dealing with "open Meeting" or requirements to make meeting minutes from Union board meetings available to the dues paying member? Is there not a requirement for these type meetings to not be held in a secret fashion?
What does the union saving jobs have to do with the LM reports being filed on time. 5 day would create more routes....how many union meetings have you attended lately. Uninformed, too many of you running around out there.
