The room was filled with a typically diverse crowd of accountants, union officers, trustees, election officials from municipal, private sector, public sector, and human services unions Our workshop attendees gain a much clearer, nuts-and-bolts practical understanding of what’s required for  union compliance with Office of Labor Management Standards.  Topics covered included record-keeping requirement, fiduciary responsibilities, compliance audits and guidelines for union elections and reporting.
