President Obama has announced his intent to nominate the current chair of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, Carol Waller Pope, and member Ernie DuBester to serve additional terms.
The authority administers the labor-management relations program for federal employees, about 1.2 million of whom are represented in 2,200 bargaining units.
Pope was appointed as a member of the FLRA in 2000, and before that served in the FLRA Office of the General Counsel as an attorney in the Boston office going back to 1980.
DuBester has served on the FLRA since 2009, and prior to that was a mediator at the National Mediation Board from 2005 – 2009. From 2001 – 2005 he chaired George Mason University Law School’s dispute resolution program.
