S-3583 : Still Just a Bill

Protecting Collective Bargaining and Official Time for Federal Workers Act

This bill nullifies certain executive orders concerning federal-employee collective bargaining. Specifically, it rescinds orders and a memorandum that

  • limit the use of unrestricted grants for union activity,
  • specify objectives for agencies to negotiate collective-bargaining agreements and establish the Interagency Labor Relations Working Group,
  • establish principles for the removal and discipline of federal employees and other personnel issues, and
  • delegate authority to the Secretary of Defense to exclude the Department of Defense from certain labor-relations requirements.
