Bill > HR2249

This bill amends Chapter 71 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which governs federal employee labor relations, to provide the President with expanded discretion in negotiating and modifying collective bargaining agreements. Specifically, the bill allows a newly elected President to terminate any provision of an existing collective bargaining agreement upon taking office, and grants the President or agency heads the authority to declare any collective bargaining agreement provision unenforceable if it conflicts with presidential rules, executive orders, memoranda, or other presidential directives. The bill includes a limitation that prevents an incumbent President from exercising this termination authority, and requires agency heads to notify the relevant labor union in writing when any agreement provision is terminated or deemed unenforceable. This legislation effectively strengthens presidential management authority by providing more flexibility in negotiating and potentially modifying labor agreements across federal agencies, potentially impacting the rights and working conditions of federal employees.
