These proposed regulations complement ULP regulations enacted in July 1997 that addressed the processing of ULP complaints by the Authority. Both sets of ULP regulations support the FLRA's agency-wide collaboration and alternative dispute resolution initiative to assist labor and management parties in developing dispute resolution services in ULP, representation, negotiability, impasses, and arbitration cases. The FLRA is in an independent agency that administers the labor-management relations program for 1.9 million federal employees worldwide, 1.1 million of whom are exclusively represented in more than 2,200 bargaining units. D.C. Comments regarding the proposed regulations must be received on or before October 19, 1998. In addition, a meeting will be held at the Office of the General Counsel Headquarters in Washington, D.C. for national labor organization officials and agency national policy leaders on September 17, 1998.
Specific information regarding all meetings appears below.
Questions regarding the meetings, including registration, should be directed to the specific Regional Office.
