Overview

Mission

Labor union

What it reported doing in 2024

This is a labor organization. The activities it conducts in furtherance of its exempt purposes are closely interrelated. Therefore, no precise allocation of expenses can be made among individual activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
