...Why should OLMS again rework the LM-30 after having done so, quite circumspectly, very recently? The answer is simple: union bosses are complaining, and under the current administration, DOL is headed by the kind of political appointees who will cater to them. There is nothing to be gained by returning to the mob-like union days of Jimmy Hoffa, which is precisely what the re-imagined LM-30 would accomplish.

Yup - The Bush administration began enforcing the LM-10/LM-30 filing requirements after they had sat idle on the books for thirty years.
For the uneducated on this particular issue, these forms require any entity soliciting business from a Union Representative to a colelctive bargaining arrrangement to disclose ALL benefits given to a Union representative in excess of $250 per year (cumulative). AND, all Union representatives receivingf (cumulatively) more than $250 per year in benefits to report them and who paid them.
The LM-10/LM-30 process exempts Management representatives.
The unions freaked out. No more expensive junkets to Miami or Vegas with the wives/girlfriends, no more fancy golf outings, no more “free use” automobiles, no more fancy dinners at high-end steakhouses, no more luxury cruises.
Just one HUGE reason the Unions worked so hard to get Obama in and the GOP out. The gravy train is back on schedule!
