Labor unions would be required to include the results of financial audits in their regular financial reports to members, making union finances more transparent and easier for workers to review. This change would apply to all labor organizations covered under federal labor law and aims to give union members better visibility into how their dues are being spent. The requirement would help ensure that union leadership is accountable for managing member funds responsibly.
