However, although providing more functional and thorough financial disclosure to rank-and-file workers would be a small step forward, much more needs to be done before rampant union corruption is deterred.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abIf the proposed LM-2 reforms do not include an independent audit requirement or an itemization requirement for expenses beyond simply incidental expenses, then this entire DOL exercise will be meaningless. <\/p>\n<p>\u00abCurrently, unions have no requirement that they conduct an independent audit of union books and records, and we fear that the proposed LM-2 reforms do not change this pathetic fact.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abBut ultimately, only ending compulsory unionism will force union officials to be accountable.  Elimination of compulsory union dues will return power to employees to discipline their unions by withholding dues that underwrite the all-expense-paid lifestyles and political activism of union bosses.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abAs Senator John McClellan (D-AR), key architect of the original Landrum-Griffith Act more than 40 years ago, said, &#8216;compulsory unionism and corruption go hand in hand.'\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Springfield, Va.
