Summary

This order cancels the earlier executive order establishing labor-management partnerships and revokes the 1999 memorandum that reaffirmed it, and immediately dissolves the National Partnership Council.

The Director of the Office of Personnel Management and heads of executive agencies are directed to promptly rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies that implemented or enforced the revoked order or memorandum, to the extent consistent with law.

The order preserves any collective bargaining agreements already in effect.
