The 2025 financial reports for local unions and other affiliates filed with the U.S. Department of Labor are now available online.

Each year most Teamster locals, joint councils, and the International Union file a financial report with the US Department of Labor. These reports are available online to any member who wants to learn about the finances of their local.

These reports (called “LM-2 reports”) are signed by the officers but compiled by professional accountants. By reviewing your local report, you can find: 

• officers' and employees' salaries
• income and expenses
• the membership count as of December 2025
• what law firms or other vendors and consultants your union is using
• the date of your next election
• and more

Local unions that only represent public employees and Canadian locals do not file LM-2 financial reports. 

How to Find an LM-2

All Teamster 2025 LM-2 reports must be filed by March 31, 2026. You can access them online. Here’s how. 

• Click here to access the Department of Labor site.
• Under “Abbr” (Abbreviation) enter IBT.
• Under “Designation Name,” choose Local, Intermediate (Joint Council) or National Headquarters.
• Under “Designation number” enter your local number or the number of your Joint Council.

It’s that easy for most locals. If you are a rail Teamster, you enter BLE or BMWED instead of IBT.  

Locals with only public workers are not required to file LM-2 reports; you can get their IRS form 990 as a substitute document.
