Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (also "LMRDA" or the "Landrum–Griffin Act"), is a United States labor law that regulates labor unions' internal affairs and their officials' relationships with employers.〔Bellace and Berkowitz (1979).〕
==Background==
After passage of the Taft–Hartley Act in 1947, the number of union victories in NLRB-conducted elections declined.〔http://www.nlrb.gov/75th/1959landrumgriffinact.html〕 During the 12-year administration of the Wagner Act passed in 1935, unions won victories in over 80 percent of elections.〔 But in that first year after passage of the Taft–Hartley Act in 1947, unions only won around 70 percent of the representation elections conducted by the agency.〔
During the middle and late 1950s, the labor movement was under intense Congressional scrutiny for corruption, racketeering, and other misconduct.〔 Enacted in 1959 after revelations of corruption and undemocratic practices in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, International Longshoremen's Association, United Mine Workers and other unions received wide public attention,〔 the Act requires unions to hold secret elections for local union offices on a regular basis and provides for review by the United States Department of Labor of union members' claims of improper election activity. Organized labor opposed the act because it strengthened the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.〔Lee (1990).〕
It was sponsored by Democrat Phil Landrum and Republican Robert P. Griffin. The drafting was assisted by Clyde Summers.
