What Unite Here Local 688 does
Mission
Our objective is to organize the un-organized workers on an on-going basis, to represent all of our members in all disputes with the companies they work for (including grievances) and work-place issues, to direct our members in the right direction to get them any kind of help they might need, to negotiate contracts with companies that we represent, to remedy any disputes over fair representation and all federal, state, and municipal laws in conjunction with our members and their jobs.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990.
Program
Union member dues and related expenses.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $47k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
