A quick definition of Office of Labor–Management Standards:

The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor that makes sure labor unions follow the rules. These rules include having fair elections for union leaders, telling members about the union's money and policies, and keeping union funds safe. OLMS is responsible for enforcing the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959. The Employment Standards Administration (ESA) is another part of the Department of Labor that oversees laws and programs related to minimum wage, overtime, farm labor, discrimination, workers' compensation, and more. ESA has four divisions with regional offices in different cities.

A more thorough explanation:

The Office of Labor–Management Standards (OLMS) is a division of the Employment Standards Administration in the U.S. Department of Labor. Its main responsibility is to enforce the Labor–Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, which sets standards for labor-union management and financial operations.

The Act provides union-members with certain rights, such as the right to fair elections of union leaders, the right to know about the union's administrative policies and financial transactions, and the right to have union funds safeguarded.

For example, if a union member suspects that their union is not holding fair elections for its leaders, they can file a complaint with the OLMS. The OLMS will then investigate the complaint and take action if necessary to ensure that the union is following the law.

The OLMS is one of four divisions within the Employment Standards Administration, which is responsible for administering various laws and programs related to employment standards, including minimum-wage and overtime standards, workers' compensation programs, and certification of employee protection for federally sponsored transportation programs.

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: I wouldn’t do anything I’d seriously regret unless I had to but it’s also important to be realistic about what you can do
21:31
Also weigh the pros and cons of whatever you will be doing to improve your odds (whether that’s retesting or just new essays etc) and decide if that is worth passing up the current offers you have
@CondemnedPuffyGnome: May I ask which school(s) you would be settling for (settling for one of)?

This process can be super toxic. So often when we’re faced with very good options we feel like they’re not good enough. Which is usually an arbitrary and meaningless feeling
