Laborer contributions to the Philadelphia Laborers District Council PAC

Tens of thousands of modest itemizations

86,766 receipts at mean $46 is the thickest contribution count in this slice. Repeat payroll-style itemizations can inflate a count without enlarging unique donors. The packet publishes neither unique donors nor a deduction schedule.

34.1% of Laborer itemized dollars landed on this district-council PAC. $7,626,480 (65.9%) went to other federal committees that stored LABORER—candidate committees, other locals, and national funds if they received the string.

LABORER as a national stamp on a local PAC

Laborer’s occupation-wide total is $11,579,166. The committee name names Philadelphia and vicinity. The occupation key does not filter geography. Filers outside that metro can appear if the receipt stored Laborer and C00253294.

Laborer, construction laborer, and union laborer can exist as other strings. They are not inside $11,579,166 unless stored as LABORER. LobbyVault does not recode LIUNA titles into one membership total.

Quote Laborer for the occupation-wide $11,579,166 and quote LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE METRO AREA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY PAC (C00253294) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $3,952,686 across 86,766 itemized receipts, 34.1% of the occupation book, mean $46. Remainder $7,626,480 (65.9%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index.

C00253294 on the recipient side

The district-council PAC received $3,952,686 from occupation Laborer. Other occupations on the same PAC—business manager, organizer—sit outside this join. $3,952,686 is not the PAC’s all-occupation total.

Dues are not Schedule A occupation totals. Independent expenditures are excluded. Cycle year and local-versus-traveling status are not in the packet. Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file.

Amended Schedule A filings move $3,952,686 and $11,579,166. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What 86,766 lines will not prove

Do not convert 86,766 into a headcount of Philadelphia laborers. Do not treat 34.1% as a closed-shop rate. Non-union laborers who listed the title and gave to candidates appear in $7,626,480, not here.

Do not rank metros as more political. Geography is in the committee name, not in a contributor-city split on this packet. The join is occupation string plus committee ID.
