The Federal Labor Relations Authority has announced online, basic statutory training on rights and obligations under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute.
FLRA said the training consists of nine lessons on the structure and functioning of the FLRA and the legal requirements of the unfair labor practice provisions of the statute, and that it is intended to educate federal employees, managers, and unions on how the statute defines ULPs and how they can guide their relationships to comply with the statute’s requirement that collective bargaining promote an efficient and effective federal service.
The Department of Veterans Affairs and OPM also worked on the training. FLRA said that by the end of the year they together would produce additional web-based programs designed by FLRA components including authority arbitration training and Federal Service Impasses Panel training.
The FLRA’s office of general council and DoD also will collaborate to produce a web-based training program on representation cases.
The training can be accessed at www.hru.gov – the HR University website – by clicking on "Course Catalogue" to find the link to the "FLRA Basic Statutory Training."
