LM-2 Financial Analysis
Communications Workers of America (CWA)
Reporting Period: June 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024

Primary Source Document
This analysis is based on CWA’s LM-2 annual report for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this page is structural clarity. It summarizes how the CWA parent union allocates dues-funded resources across functional categories reported on the LM-2 (representation, political/lobbying, overhead, and administration). Because CWA operates as a union-of-unions, this filing is interpreted as the parent-union side of a broader dues-flow picture.
Cross-union comparisons are deferred to a separate report.
How to Read This Filing
- Functional categories: LM-2 spending is categorized by function, not by internal beneficiary.
- Centralized capacity: Parent-union spending often represents shared infrastructure used by multiple affiliates.
- Attribution limits: The filing does not assign dollars to specific sectors or districts.
What This Page Does Not Claim
- It does not attribute spending to specific sectors or districts.
- It does not measure service quality or effectiveness.
- It does not analyze downstream affiliate budgets.
A complete dues-flow picture requires pairing the parent LM-2 with sector-level filings, which will be analyzed separately after CWA is finalized.
