Common allegations against unions include failure to represent an employee and failure to bargain in good faith. The issuance of a complaint leads to a hearing before an NLRB Administrative Law Judge (unless there is a settlement).
All complaints are confidential and must be filed within two years of the event. You may begin your claim by calling 1-866-4USWAGE or visiting the division's website to find the nearest office towards you.

Contact a Higher Union Official: If your concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, consider reaching out to a higher official within the union, such as a regional representative or the union president. Present your documentation and explain your situation.
Visit the nearest DOLE Regional or Field Office. Their Public Assistance and Complaints Desk will guide you through the process and help you understand what documents are needed.
Therefore, it is the policy of the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) to investigate, at its discretion, allegations of violations by union officers and other representatives of their fiduciary responsibilities under section 501(a) of the LMRDA.
Generally, an investigation is triggered as soon as an employer learns about allegations of wrongdoing in the workplace. This could happen because of an employee's confidential complaint to HR, the results of an external audit, or a direct conflict or incident.
What Triggers a DOL Audit? A DOL audit can be triggered by various factors, such as complaints from employees, industry-wide investigations, or random selection. Common triggers include suspicions of H1B wage violations, misclassification of H1B employees, failure to keep accurate records or previous violations.
