### Who the FLRA helps

**Does the Statute that the FLRA enforces cover me?**

The Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) covers most federal employees.  But it does not cover:
                          - Non-federal employees :  including private-sector employees, contractors, or employees of state or local governments.
                          - Employees of certain federal agencies :  including the Postal Service, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Secret Service.
                          - Certain categories of employees :  including supervisors, management officials, and members of the uniformed services in their military capacity.

**Is the FLRA the right agency to help with my problem?**

The FLRA handles only labor-management issues for non-postal, federal civilian employees.  Here is a list of other common employee issues and the agencies that may be most appropriate to contact.
                          - The  National Labor Relations Board  (1-866-667-6572) protects the collective-bargaining rights of private-sector employees and Postal workers.
                          - The  National Mediation Board   (1-202-692-5050) protects the collective-bargaining rights of railway and airline employees.
                          - For questions about labor-union officer elections, union financial practices, or reports filed by labor unions, employers, and labor-relations consultants, contact the Department of Labor's  Office of Labor-Management Standards  at (202) 693-0123.
                          - If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation, contact the  Equal Employment Opportunity Commission  at 1-800-669-4000 or the EEO Office at your agency.
                          - If you want to appeal certain adverse personnel actions, contact the  Merit Systems Protection Board  to find out whether it has jurisdiction over your appeal at 1-202-653-7200.
                          - For allegations of activities prohibited by civil service laws, including Hatch Act Issues and whistleblower reprisal, contact the Office of Special Counsel ( OSC )  at (800) 872-9855.
                          - For complaints concerning activities at an agency that may violate law or involve mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to the public health and safety contact your agency’s Office of Inspector General.
                          - For information on employment, examinations, staffing, retirement, and benefits contact the Office of Personnel Management ( OPM ).
                          - For questions about wages, tips, work hours, overtime, breaks, vacation pay, or the Family Medical Leave Act, contact the Department of Labor’s  Wage and Hour Division  at 1-866-487-9243.
                          - For work-related safety and health questions, contact the  Occupational Safety and Health Administration  at 1-800-321-6742.
                          - The FLRA does not enforce state and local laws relating to employment, such as unemployment benefits or workers’ compensation.  For a list of state labor offices, click  here .
