Federal Employees; Criteria to be Applied in Determining Employer Successorship

Resumo

The Federal Labor Relations Authority provides an opportunity for all interested persons to file briefs as amici curiae on significant issues arising in a case pending before the Authority. The Authority is considering this case pursuant to its responsibilities under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, 5 U.S.C. 7101-7135 (1988) and its regulations set forth at 5 CFR part 2422 (1994). The issues concern the criteria and analysis for determining whether an agency is a successor employer of an existing bargaining unit where the continued appropriateness of the unit is questioned and accretion is claimed.
