Across the country, public-sector unions collect billions of dollars from hardworking employees while operating with remarkably little public scrutiny. Workers are told where their dues go, but too rarely shown. Political spending is often hidden behind complicated financial reports. Legislative efforts that affect workers’ rights move quietly through state capitols. And when abuses occur, they’re frequently discovered only after the damage has already been done.

The Union Accountability Center is a real-time hub dedicated to tracking union activity across America—from legislation and litigation to financial disclosures, political spending, worker stories, and breaking news. Our goal is to shine a brighter light on organizations that wield enormous influence over millions of workers and billions of dollars.
