A new investigation by Caring Class Revolt reporter McKenna Schueler uncovered a federal financial disclosure report filed this past January with the U.S. Department of Labor bearing the signature of Peter List, founder of anti-union consulting firm Logic Labor Relations LLC. The report, an LM-21 submitted under penalty of perjury, disclosed over $500,000 in payments List’s firm made to subcontracted union-avoidance consultants in 2025 for campaigns targeting workers at Sysco, Mission Foods, Spec’s Wine & Spirits, meal delivery service Factor, and Flowers Baking Company. The problem is that List died in 2025, at age 60. Someone filed a sworn federal disclosure in a deceased man’s name.
When Schueler contacted OLMS, the agency acknowledged the issue, and within two weeks a corrected LM-21 appeared, this time signed only by the firm’s treasurer, Stephanie Bari. But the correction doesn’t answer the obvious questions: who submitted the original, and will there be any consequences? Under the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), signatories are personally responsible for the accuracy of these reports and subject to criminal penalties for willful false reporting. So far, there is no indication that anyone is being held to that standard.
That’s not surprising, and it shouldn’t be. LaborLab’s research has shown for years that the Department of Labor pursues unions aggressively for reporting violations while giving anti-union consultants wide latitude to file late, incomplete, or flatly inaccurate disclosures.
There’s a dark irony here: the fact that Logic Labor Relations filed anything at all puts them ahead of many of their peers in the industry. But filing a sworn federal disclosure in a deceased man’s name is about as vivid an illustration as you’ll find of how little union-busters fear the rules they’re supposed to follow.
