The AFL-CIO took issue with
the instruction covering Schedule
F in the the long form and item II
tn the short form.
"Non-reimbursed union expenses
are not disbursements to an offi-
cer or employee, either directly or
indirectly; they are disbursements
to an airline or hotel or station-
ery store," the AFL-CIO pointed
out.

In a 13-page comment, the AFL-
CIO asked the Labor 'Department
to revise the reporting forms “to
make it clear that they call for
the listing . . . only of (l) reim-
bursed expenses and (2) any per-
sonal expenses paid by the union,
whether reimbursed or paid di-
rectly, together with any other
disguised salary items and that
they do not call for the allocation
among officers and employees of
union expenses paid directly by
the union.”
The department’s new Bureau
of Labor-Management Reports re-
cently issued both long and Short
reporting forms required to be
filed by some 77,000 unions within
90 days after the close of their
fiscal year.

The AFL-CIO protested that it
might be interpreted to require
an itemised breakdown of legiti-
mate expenses incurred by officers
or employees and paid directly by
by the union.
If the Labor Department in-

the rule is contrary to the law’s

"Instead of curbing inflation,

Meany urged Congress to "aban-

stitute for it a “wise investment
policy" that would be "geared to
growth, not decline.”
The positive program hammered
