Written by Peter Broida, an expert in labor relations and longtime representative of agencies, unions and employees, the FLRA Guide is the standard reference on federal sector collective bargaining law and case law of the Federal Labor Relations Authority and its reviewing courts. This treatise tracks the Authority's unique role in labor relations examining the considerable complexities of negotiability, jurisdiction over federal-sector arbitration awards, collective bargaining requirements and unfair labor practice theory and remedies, as well as unit recognition, and the limitations of judicial review. It is updated annually with the most recent decisions and procedural revisions of the Authority and the courts.
The text analyses thousands of cases, and major developments during the past year in: abrogation standard applied to agency head contract review and awards enforcing negotiated arrangements clauses; covered by doctrine applied to negotiability disputes; negotiability of staffing levels, contracting out protections, office design, RIF procedures, performance goals; scope of grievances, formal discussions; arbitration award issues involving disability discrimination, counsel fees, FLSA, probationary terminations; elections of remedies; unit determinations for individuals involved in security functions, reorganizations. For over 20 years, federal sector practitioners, labor relations advisors and arbitrators have relied on the FLRA Guide as the standard reference for substantive and procedural guidance on topics including:
- Federal Labor Relations Authority Structure and Jurisdiction
- Unit Determinations and Elections—including excluded positions, representation proceedings, and unit clarification and changes
- Labor Organizations—including responsibilities, official time, and rights to information
- Procedures For Negotiability Determinations
