Overview

Mission

Member services - serving over 200 members

What it reported doing in 2024

Benefits are handling grievances and negotiating labor contracts, retitement gratuities, funeral benefits, union jackets, seminars and organizing new members

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

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