View Rule

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed rule to improve union access to federal job applicants and bargaining unit employees so job applicants and employees can be fully informed of their rights to organize collectively and to join a union. E.O. 14025 states that it is the policy of this Administration to encourage work organizing and collective bargaining. In support of this policy, OPM has issued various guidance memorandums to agencies with the goal of removing barriers and obstacles in federal workplaces which may impede a labor union’s ability to organize and represent federal employees. OPM seeks to codify these instructions to agencies and to further the policies of E.O. 14025.
