The Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) posted on its web site yesterday an online presentation to help labor organizations comply with the recordkeeping requirements of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA). The presentation covers the statutory requirements for recordkeeping, what records need to be kept, and points out potential recordkeeping problems with suggestions on how to avoid them. The presentation in PowerPoint format can be downloaded from this link: http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/olms/Financial%20Recordkeeping.pps

NOTE: The DOL under the Bush administration has been getting tough with labor unions with new reporting and disclosure requirements. Since many people don’t have PowerPoint installed on their computer, I have converted the presentation to a PDF file .
