A Department of Labor form has been revised to require certain employers to disclose whether they are federal contractors or subcontractors.
The Office of Labor-Management Standards' Form LM-10 recommended change was published by the Department of Labor for those employers who are already required to file Form LM-10s, according to a Sept. 12 news release.
“The proposed revision to Form LM-10 would promote transparency and support harmonious labor relations,” Office of Labor-Management Standards Regional Director Jeffrey Freund said in the release.
An employer’s GSA Unique Entity Identifier must be provided if it is under a federal contract or subcontract, plus any information about the federal agencies that it provides services. An employer under a federal contract or subcontract would then be required to provide their GSA Unique Entity Identifier, if any, and provide information on the federal agencies for which they provide services, the release reported.
Workers would gain access to “information about an indirect source of funding used to persuade or surveil them in connection with organizing and collective bargaining,” Freund said, according to the release.
Some employers are required to submit a Form LM-10 to report, among other things, agreements with consultants and other payments and expenses made to influence workers' opinions about their right to organize and engage in collective bargaining or to monitor the actions of workers and unions engaged in a labor dispute with such employers, according to the release.
