"It is well-recognized that if you take away the mechanism [unified dues and payroll deduction] you won’t collect a penny from these people, and it has nothing to do with voluntary or involuntary. I think it has to do with the nature of the beast and the beasts, who are our teachers, simply don’t come up with the money regardless of the purpose.”

-Robert Chanin, NEA General Counsel, U.S. District Court oral argument, 1978

FINANCIALS

Many labor unions are required to file financial information, in the form of an LM-2 report with the federal Department of Labor. While these reports are public record, they are extremely difficult to find. We have made that easier.

LM-2 reports contain all the revenue and expenses of the union and shed light on employee compensation, assets and liabilities, political contributions (not to candidates), and charitable contributions. We expound on the latter two areas elsewhere on this site.
