(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - A proposed U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) rule to force firms to disclose how much time each boss who engages in Union-Busting spends on that task - and the share of that boss’s pay which covers that time - is hung up at the White House.

At a background pre-Labor Day briefing, a Senior USDOL Official could not give a forecast of when Democratic President Joe Biden’s Office of Management and Budget would let the proposal loose for public comment - but the official, who asked not to be named, said the Department is still lobbying for it.

The new rule, in official language, says the USDOL’s Office of Labor-Management Services intends to explore the scope of split-income reporting on the Form LM-10 Employer Report, pursuant to section 203 of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), popularly known as the Landrum-Griffin Act.

Under split-income reporting, the employer would be required to report, for example, its supervisors’ income on a split basis, that is, the pro-rata share of the supervisor’s wages that were spent undertaking the reportable activity.

The “reportable activity,” in the USDOL’s official language, is the supervisor being a “persuader” of Workers to vote against Unionizing.

In direct language, Union-Busting.

If approved, the new rule would give added clout over Union-Busting to the USDOL’s Office of Labor-Management Services (OLMS).

The GOP-passed Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959 is best known for collecting - and publishing - down-to-the-penny reports on all Union spending from paychecks to paper clips.
