Overview

Mission

To improve members work conditions as well as protect the members and those conditions.

What it reported doing in 2024

Officers and members attend workshops where they are provided education and training on various subjects such as health and safety womens rights and grievance and steward education. Being educated in these subjects can help represent and protect the members jobs and improve workplaces.

Operating model

Revenue model: Membership-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model: Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
