Labor-Management Accountability Act

The Labor-Management Accountability Act (H.R. 1075) would grant the Secretary of Labor the authority to impose civil financial penalties on labor unions, employers, and individuals who fail to comply with federal reporting and disclosure requirements. These requirements typically involve the filing of financial reports, constitutions, bylaws, and records of securities or trusteeships.

For citizens and union members, this bill aims to increase transparency and accountability within labor organizations and workplaces by creating a direct financial consequence for failing to disclose financial information. The bill includes a "due process" provision, ensuring that no penalties are issued without written notice and an opportunity for the accused party to be heard and seek a review of the decision.
