We believe that the EEOC's labor-management partnership councils represent a significant asset for promoting communication needed for positive change throughout the organization. In 1995, the EEOC established a labor-management partnership structure nationwide. It consists of a National Partnership Council comprised of top management officials and union leadership, and 43 local partnership councils - one in each district and area office, and one in Headquarters. Our partnership councils have given Commission employees the opportunity to provide input into many decisions affecting their work, and to have their concerns addressed. Also, from surveys conducted in 1998 and 1999, there were no significant decreases in our own survey results.
