By: FEDweek StaffPreviously announced revisions to rules for deciding on the negotiability of labor-management contract proposals have now taken effect, the FLRA has announced, changes that are “intended to benefit the Authority’s parties by clarifying various matters and streamlining the negotiability process, thereby enabling the Authority to provide the parties with more timely decisions.”
The rules: spell out requirements for parties to explain their positions; streamline the procedure for severing a proposal or provision into distinct parts; provide additional examples for commonly used terms; clarify the deadlines for certain filings; explain that the Authority may hold a hearing or take other appropriate action instead of, or in addition to, conducting a post-petition conference; revise the rules for filing additional submissions; and more.
The agency has posted a video explaining the changes.
The FLRA also recently updated regulations on processing requests under the Freedom of Information Act and proposed changes to its rules on processing requests under the Privacy Act.
