LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS contributions received by LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE METRO AREA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY PAC

LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS meeting the Metro Area PAC

LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS is the grouped employer key. LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE METRO AREA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY PAC is committee C00253294. This page reports itemized individual gifts that carried both labels. The $3,848,520 figure is the intersection. Name overlap between a laborers’ council and its PAC is expected. The join still exists so the $4,157,632 industry hub is not treated as identical to the PAC hub.

Filers who typed Laborers, LIUNA, a local-number string, or a Philadelphia building-trades name may sit in other keys if stored separately. This page stays on LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS as indexed. Eighty-four thousand one hundred two contributions is a high-volume PAC file. Line count is not a headcount of union members.

Ninety-three percent of the LDC grouping

The LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS grouping shows $4,157,632 in itemized individual money. The Metro Area PAC cell is $3,848,520, or about 92.6% of that total ($3,848,520 ÷ $4,157,632). About 7.4% of LDC-coded receipts went to other committees. That leftover is $309,112 ($4,157,632 − $3,848,520). Those leftover dollars are on the industry hub.

A 92.6% share is typical of a tightly labeled connected PAC, not proof that the council directed every gift. Candidate committees still received a slice of the employer string. The 92.6% figure applies to this LDC bucket only.

84,102 contributions and a $46 mean

The Metro Area PAC received $3,848,520 from LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS-coded receipts across 84,102 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $46 per contribution ($3,848,520 ÷ 84,102). High line counts and two-figure means are common when payroll-style PAC deductions are itemized over many cycles.

Repeat givers raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The committee overlay for C00253294 also includes receipts whose employer field did not group to LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS.

A union employer string is not a public-works award

Laborers’ councils and affiliated locals may appear in Davis-Bacon, highway, or other USAspending records. Those award dollars are not these PAC gifts. This join does not claim that Metro Area PAC contributions funded federal construction awards, or that awards funded PAC contributions. FEC and USAspending share a trades name, not a cash pipeline.

The employer field can lag a local merger, a retirement, or a contractor badge. Correlation between an LDC employer string and a connected PAC is a reporting pattern, not causation of infrastructure-policy outcomes.

Pages that keep the locals and the PAC apart

The Ldc And Affiliated Locals industry page keeps the $4,157,632 grouping and the other committees that received the remaining 7.4%. The PAC page keeps C00253294. All industries ranks other building-trades keys. All FEC ties lists neighboring cells so this connected-PAC join is not mistaken for independent expenditures or for federal construction totals.

The leftover $309,112 is LDC-coded money that did not go to this PAC — small next to a 92.6% connected-PAC share, but not zero. The 84,102-line count and the $46 mean are the operational signature of a long-running union PAC file. Line count is not a membership census.

How to cite LDC × Laborers Metro PAC

A complete claim names LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS and LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE METRO AREA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY PAC, then $3,848,520, 84,102 itemized lines, C00253294, and 92.6% of the $4,157,632 grouping, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 84,102 lines into 84,102 unique members. Do not fold highway or building awards into the cell. Keep AFFILIATED LOCALS in the citation so a single-local row, if indexed, remains separate.

Unitemized gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures are omitted. Repeat givers raise 84,102 above any unique-person figure the packet does not publish. Quote C00253294, $3,848,520, 84,102 itemized lines, and the $4,157,632 grouping.

LIUNA, a local-number string, and LABORERS without the LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS key remain other rows if indexed. The 92.6% share ($3,848,520 of $4,157,632) applies to this bucket only. Eighty-four thousand one hundred two lines at about $46 each describe payroll-style itemization, not a membership roll of the Metro Area council. The leftover $309,112 went to other committees. Highway, transit, and building awards on USAspending that mention laborers or an LDC are different objects. Quote C00253294, $3,848,520, 84,102 lines, and the $4,157,632 grouping. Keep AFFILIATED LOCALS in the name so a single-local cell stays separate.

Questions

How much did LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS-coded donors give this PAC?

FEC.gov aggregates show $3,848,520 in itemized individual contributions grouped to LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS and received by LABORERS' DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE METRO AREA OF PHILADELPHIA AND VICINITY PAC (C00253294). That join covers 84,102 contributions. The employer grouping across all committees is $4,157,632. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What share of LDC FEC money went to this PAC?

About 92.6% of the $4,157,632 LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS total is in this join: $3,848,520 to C00253294. The leftover $309,112 went to other committees. A near-total share describes overlap, not a finding that the council directed every gift.

Is this union treasury political spending?

No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer text grouped to LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS and whose recipient is C00253294. Union treasury activity and independent expenditures are other FEC categories. The join does not merge those documents.

Do these PAC gifts fund federal construction awards?

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing a laborers’ or LDC name does not create a funding pipeline. This tie reports only the employer–committee intersection on itemized individual receipts.
