Task · part of 2. Reach a union or employee organization

2(c). Diagram the organization, local to national

Required

From the local level to the national level, IF APPLICABLE. Those two words matter: an independent employee organization may have no national structure at all, and a diagram of what does exist, with that said plainly, is the honest answer.

Notes and warnings

Note. THE WORDS "IF APPLICABLE" ARE DOING REAL WORK. You are asked to diagram the organization's structure from the local level to the national level, if applicable. A large union will have every tier and the diagram is straightforward. An independent employee organization at a single workplace may have no national body at all, and in that case the honest answer is a diagram of what does exist together with a plain statement that there is nothing above it. Ask while you are in contact with them, because that is much easier than deducing it from a website.

Where this step comes from

  1. American Labor Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-15), Requirement 2(c) · The requirement asks for the structure from the local to the national level, if applicable.
