Federal Labor Relations Authority
- Federal Labor Relations Authority
The Federal Labor Relations Authority (or FLRA) is an independent agency of the United States government. Created by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, it governs labor relations between the Federal government and its employees.
The Authority is a quasi-judicial body with three full-time Members who are appointed for five-year terms by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. One Member is appointed by the President to serve as Chairman of the Authority and as the Chief Executive and Administrative Officer of the FLRA. The Chairman is also "ex officio" chairman of the Foreign Service Labor Relations Board.
The Authority adjudicates disputes arising under the Civil Service Reform Act, deciding cases concerning the negotiability of collective bargaining agreement proposals, appeals concerning unfair labor practices and representation petitions, and exceptions to grievance arbitration awards. Consistent with its statutory charge to provide leadership in establishing policies and guidance to participants in the Federal labor-management relations program, the Authority also assists Federal agencies and unions in understanding their rights and responsibilities under the Statute through statutory training of parties.
The agency is separate from the National Labor Relations Board, which governs private-sector labor relations.
