C
—Program efficiency40% of the ratingNo expense breakdown in filings

Not scored for Retail Wholesale & Department Store Union— this filing type doesn't report it, and the rating simply skips it (never counts it against the organization). See the exact thresholds →
C+Financial health25% of the rating3 mo reserves · -14% margin
