Corruption and Embezzlement Charges
The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) conducts investigations to determine if violations of the Labor-Management Relations and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) provisions have occurred.

Investigations may involve civil matters (such as an election of union officers) or criminal matters (such as embezzlement of union funds).
