The Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act, regulates labor unions' internal affairs and their officials' relationships with employers and was signed into law by President Eisenhower.

“Important provisions of the law were as follows:

  • Unions had to hold secret elections, reviewable by the Department of Labor.
  • Union members are protected against abuses by a bill of rights that includes guarantees of freedom of speech and periodic secret elections of officers.
  • Bar members of the Communist Party and convicted felons from holding union office. The bar on Communist Party members was ruled unconstitutional in 1965.
  • Require unions to submit annual financial reports to the DOL.
  • Declare that every union officer must act as a fiduciary in handling the assets and conducting the affairs of the union.
  • Limit the power of unions to put subordinate bodies in trusteeship, a temporary suspension of democratic processes within a union.
  • Provide certain minimum standards before a union may expel or take other disciplinary action against a member of the union.
