Finances
The CNA is by no means a simple organization. It is a big business, surviving on the dues and fees of its hard-working members. The CNA is required by law to file a document called an "LM-2" Report with the federal government each year. The CNA's LM-2 Report describes where the Union received its money and how it spent it.

The CNA's LM-2 Report states that the Union collected more than $202 million in cash receipts last year. Yet the CNA spent more than $219 million.
