The Start Applying Labor Transparency Act expands reporting requirements under existing federal labor law to increase transparency in labor organizing activities. The bill requires labor organizations to file detailed reports with the Department of Labor when they pay employees or hire consultants to persuade workers to unionize or take specific positions on unionization, including identifying the targeted employer and facility. Similarly, individuals and consultants who receive payments to engage in these persuasion activities must file reports disclosing the terms of their agreements and their financial dealings with labor organizations. The bill also requires annual financial reports from those receiving payment for labor relations advice. The Secretary of Labor has six months from the bill's enactment to issue regulations implementing these new disclosure requirements. No specific funding is authorized in the legislation.
