Submission of Computer-Generated Labor Organization and Auxiliary Reports

The Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), provides for the reporting and disclosure of information on the financial transactions and administrative practices of labor organizations. The statute also provides, under certain circumstances, for reporting and disclosure of information by labor organization officers and employees, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety companies. The Department of Labor's Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) has begun to receive required reports in a variety of computer-generated formats. OLMS has developed standards to ensure the uniformity of computer-generated reporting forms to assist persons who make approximately 10,000 requests to examine these reports each year. This notice of policy is to inform those who file reports of the standards for computer-generated reports.
