Overview

Mission

Labor union district council

What it reported doing in 2024

To maintain a harmonious relationship between the local unions within their jurisdiction and settle any differences. To create a higher standard of skill and improve working conditions for the members. To promote better relations with the contributing employers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
