New form LM-10 starts August 28,2023!
Employer labor management and disclosure reporting
The Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) published the final revision to the Form LM-10 Employer Report. Under section 203 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), employers must file a Form LM-10 Employer Report with the DOL to disclose certain payments, expenditures, agreements, and arrangements with consultants concerning employees' organizing and collective bargaining rights or to surveil the activities of employees and unions involved in a labor dispute with employers.
On the revised form, the DOL adds a checkbox requiring certain reporting entities to indicate whether entities were Federal contractors or subcontractors in their prior fiscal year, two lines for entry of filers’ Unique Entity Identifier, and Federal contracting agency or agencies, if applicable.
Revised LM-10 Forms will be available on the OLMS Electronic Filing System and will be the required form for all Form LM-10s filed on or after August 28, 2023.
The Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) has issued a notice of proposed revision to add a federal contractor identification box on Form LM-10. Pursuant to the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA), employers must file a Form LM-10 with OLMS to disclose certain payments, expenditures, agreements, and arrangements. Employers must file reports covering, among other areas, agreements with consultants (and other payments and expenditures) made with an object to persuade employees concerning their organizing and collective bargaining rights or to surveil the activities of employees and unions involved in a labor dispute with such employers. OLMS proposes to add to the Form LM-10 report a checkbox requiring such employers to indicate whether they were Federal contractors or subcontractors, and two lines for entry of filers’ Unique Entity Identifier and federal contracting agency or agencies. The proposed revision explains that the transparency created by these revisions would better inform workers in making determinations regarding the exercise of their rights to organize and bargain collectively.
