# House Labor Leaders Press OLMS on LMRDA Enforcement

Representatives Summer Lee, Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, and Mark DeSaulnier asked the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) to explain how it enforces federal disclosure requirements for employers and consultants involved in union-organizing campaigns. They requested a response by **November 16, 2026 (13 days away)**. A cited watchdog analysis found that nearly 60% of employers required to report for 2025 had not filed by August 8, 2026, making the inquiry relevant to contractors that provide labor-relations or union-avoidance services and may have reporting obligations under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA).

- Contractors providing these services should review whether their activities or agreements trigger LMRDA disclosure and reporting obligations; the signal does not indicate that the rules have changed.
- The inquiry focuses on OLMS enforcement of existing federal transparency requirements, not a new procurement or contract award.
- The reported filing gap may increase scrutiny of compliance practices among covered employers and consultants.
