Exclusions From Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs

AI Summary: This regulation is an executive order that modifies federal labor-management relations programs by excluding certain agencies and subdivisions from coverage under existing labor relations statutes. The order specifically targets agencies and departments with primary functions in intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work, determining that these entities cannot be subject to standard labor-management relations laws without compromising national security. The document lists extensive exclusions across multiple federal departments, including the Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and others, removing their ability to engage in collective bargaining or participate in certain labor-related proceedings. The order also delegates authority to the Secretaries of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Transportation to further exclude or suspend labor relations statute coverage for specific subdivisions, provided they certify that such exclusions are necessary for national security. Additionally, the order requires agency heads to reassign employees previously in bargaining units and terminate pending grievance proceedings for these excluded subdivisions.
