Further Exclusions From the Federal Labor- Management Relations Program

AI Summary: This is a policy document: an executive order (Executive Order 14343) that makes changes to federal labor-management relations exclusions for certain agencies and subdivisions, primarily on national security grounds. The regulation excludes specific units from standard labor-management relations rules, including units in the Bureau of Reclamation with hydropower responsibilities, certain subdivisions of the International Trade Administration, the Patent and Trademark Office, specific units of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (such as the National Weather Service), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the United States Agency for Global Media. The order determines that these agencies or subdivisions have primary functions in intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work, and that standard labor-management relations rules cannot be applied to them without compromising national security. The order also extends a deadline for related exclusionary orders and includes standard severability and general provisions clauses ensuring the order's implementation is consistent with existing law and does not create new legal rights.
