Summary

This order revokes the earlier executive order that created the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations and related agency labor-management forums and directs the Office of Personnel Management director and agency heads to promptly rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, programs, or policies that implement that council. It discontinues the council and related forums across the executive branch.

The change affects federal agencies, agency managers, and federal employees involved in those forums, and aims to reduce managerial time and taxpayer spending. The order preserves existing collective bargaining agreements.
