Dear Mr. Owens:
This office has recently completed an audit of CWA LU 7812 under the Compliance Audit
Program (CAP) to determine your organization’s compliance with the provisions of the Labor-
Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit
interview with you on June 9, 2011, no violations of the LMRDA were disclosed in areas of
financial activity included in the CAP. This does not exhaust all possible problem areas,
however, since the audit conducted was limited in scope and did not include all areas of your
union’s operation.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to CWA LU 7812 for the cooperation and courtesy
extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and
the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can
provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Investigator
