Overview

Mission

For the betterment of wages hours of work and working conditions

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
