LM-10 Filing Deadline Extended (pdf).
The Labor Department’s Office of Labor Management Standards (OLMS) has extended the deadline
for employers to file LM-10 forms disclosing payments to unions. A recent OLMS advisory set May
15, 2006 as the new deadline for filing the reports for 2005. The Labor-Management and Reporting
Disclosure Act requires companies to report payments, gifts, and loans to unions and union officials;
payments to employees to persuade them regarding their bargaining rights; and payments to labor relations
consultants.
DOL Issues An Expanded Interpretation of Reporting Requirements For Forms LM-10 and LM-30 (pdf).
For many years, union officers and employees have been
required to report certain payments and financial interests
which might give rise to a conflict of interest on Form LM-
30 and employers have been required to report certain
payments to unions and union officials on Form LM-10.
These requirements arose from the Labor Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act (“LMRDA”). Only a small
number of people actually filed these forms and many
people did not even know of their existence. The Department
of Labor (“DOL”) has not been actively enforcing
the filing requirement.
