The Federal Labor Relations Authority is seeking customer input on what it says is a significant unfair labor practice issue arising in one of its current pending cases.
According to the FLRA, US Department of the Air Force, Ogden Air Logistics Center, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Case No. DE-CA-08-0046, involves exceptions filed by the FLRA’s general counsel to challenge a recommended order by the FLRA’s chief administrative law judge dismissing a ULP complaint.
Those exceptions present legal questions of first impression concerning whether a presidential order, which was issued under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute to exclude an agency subdivision “from coverage under” the statute, precludes the authority from finding that an employee of the excluded subdivision acted as a “representative of the agency,” FLRA said.
It said interested persons are asked to address these questions, as set forth in a “Notice of Opportunity to Submit Amici Curiae Briefs in an Unfair-Labor-Practice Proceeding Pending Before the Federal Labor Relations Authority” appearing in the Federal Register: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/08/15/2014-19387/notice-of-opportunity-to-submit-amici-curiae-briefs-in-an-unfair-labor-practice-proceeding-pending
