Unfair Labor Practice Proceedings

The General Counsel of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) revises the regulations regarding the prevention, resolution, and investigation of unfair labor practice (ULP) disputes (part 2423, subpart A). The purpose of the revisions is to facilitate dispute resolution and to simplify, clarify, and improve the processing of ULP charges. Implementation of the changes will enhance the purposes and policies of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute) by preventing ULP disputes, resolving disputes that arise, and fully investigating and taking determinative action in disputes that are not resolved. The revisions implement the FLRA's agency-wide collaboration and alternative dispute resolution initiative to assist labor and management parties in developing collaborative relationships, and to provide dispute resolution services in ULP, representation, negotiability, impasses, and arbitration cases pending before the Office of the General Counsel, the three Authority Members, and the Federal Service Impasses Panel. The regulations are applicable to any charge pending or filed after January 1, 1999.
