VOTE YES ON SESSIONS OLMS AMENDMENT TO S. 1710
AWF Will Rate “Yes” Vote

Washington, D.C. – The Alliance for Worker Freedom (AWF), urges all Senators to support and vote yes on Senator Sessions’ amendment to restore full funding to the Office of Labor Management Standards plus an additional $3 million.

The additional $3 million is not a spending increase, there is an offset.

The OLMS is not anti-union; rather it is a monitoring agency that union members need in order to assure their dues are accounted for. In this age of increased transparency and accountability, AWF urges you not to cut funding for the only agency that provides this to union members.

- Since 2001, OLMS indictments have increased 20%.
- Convictions have increased by 26% to over 781 convictions.
- Over $101 million has been restored in dues to union members.
- 15,800 unions file disclosure reports; 4% audited.
- A 2004 Zogby poll says 71% of union members want disclosure.
- Between May 2006 and May 2007, the OLMS website received an average of 2,100 hits per day.
