OLMS also administers provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and the Foreign Service Act of 1980 relating to standards of conduct for Federal employee organizations, which are comparable to LMRDA requirements. The main activities performed by OLMS are:

3. Investigations- to determine whether there was any violation of the LMRDA provisions; and
4. Education and compliance assistance- o promote voluntary compliance with the LMRDA by informing union officers and others affected by the law of their responsibilities and by encouraging members to exercise their rights under the LMRDA.
