  Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act, is a United States labor law statute that regulates labor unions' internal affairs and union officials' relationships with employers.
The LMRDA covers both workers and unions covered by the National Labor Relations Act ("Wagner Act") and workers and unions in the railroad and airline industries, who are covered by the Railway Labor Act.
The LMRDA likewise does not displace state laws governing unions' relations with their members except to the extent that those state laws would conflict with federal law.

 NLPC Petition to DOL for LMRDA Rulemaking
Congress intended the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA)[1] to be an instrument for union members to hold their unions and union officials accountable.
Thus, Congress wisely enacted reporting and disclosure provisions to help increase the probability that union embezzlers and others engaging in unaccountable practices are detected by the members as well as by rival union officials, investigative journalists, law enforcement officials, and the general public.
The LMRDA imposes only one restriction on the DOL's ability to bring a civil suit: it must "appear" that a "person has violated or is about to violate any of the [reporting and disclosure] provisions" of the LMRDA.

The District Court granted summary judgment [***2] for respondents, holding that the Act does not protect a union employee from discharge by the union president if the employee's rights as a union member are not affected.
Neither the language nor legislative history of the Act suggests that it was intended to address the issue of union patronage, its overriding objective being rather to ensure that unions would be democratically governed and responsive to the union membership's will as expressed in open elections.

 IMPEDIMENTS TO UNION DEMOCRACY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Through democratic participation and the public disclosure of union financial matters to their members, the drafters of the LMRDA sought to ensure union officials would be accountable to their members, and thereby protect members from corrupt or otherwise unwanted or undemocratic leadership.
The Act is not enforced aggressively enough, and there are many extreme areas in which union officials were able to evade provisions of the law, and they should be changed.
The Department of Labor is not an ideal agency for enforcing the Act, because for 99 percent of their activity they have to maintain close relations, and they should.
