Lesson Learned From An Attempt To Limit Collective Bargaining In The Federal Workplace; What Is The Takeaway From Nsps?

摘要

It might be perceived as baffling that the DoD would place emphasis on the need for employees to trust the system, while at the same time refusing to bargain with the employees.rnThe unions represent the interest of the employees. If the DoD refuses to bargain with the unions, the DoD is, in effect, refusing to bargain with its employees. The unions voiced many serious reservations about the implementing regulations for NSPS. Yet, the DoD stated that the differences between the unions and DoD could not be rec onciled with the need for a contemporary and flexible system of human resource management. The DoD r ecognized the good faith effort made by these labor organizations to meet the Department s operational needs, but ultimately decided not to compromise or bargain over the differences. This series of events subsequently led to the unions suit against the DoD.
