# Office of the General Counsel (OGC)

## What we do

The OGC promotes effective labor-management relations in the federal sector by:
                      - Investigating alleged  unfair labor practices (ULPs) , and prosecuting them when warranted;
                      - Conducting union elections, and otherwise determining  representation  matters;
                      - Issuing guidance and providing  training  to federal managers and unions; and 
                      - Providing  alternative dispute resolution (ADR)  services.

## About us

The OGC has Regional Offices – in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.  The OGC headquarters office is in Washington, DC.  Regional Offices are your first contact for general information about filing or responding to a ULP charge or representation petition, arranging training, or arranging ADR.
