Landrum-Griffin Act

The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) - also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act - deals with the relationship between a union and its members. The LMRDA grants certain rights to union members and protects their interests by promoting democratic procedures within labor organizations. The Act establishes a 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; and safeguards for protecting labor organization funds and assets.

The Secretary of Labor enforces certain provisions of the LMRDA and has delegated that authority to the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) of the Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration.Further explanations of the provisions of the Act can be found on the U.S. Department of Labor web site - www.dol.gov.
