reports, and copies of their constitution and bylaws with DOL.
Under certain circumstances, reports are required of union officers
and employees, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety
companies. All reports are available for public disclosure. Filers
are required to retain supporting records for five years; unions
are required to retain election records for one year.
