Summary
This order requires federal agencies to speed up collective bargaining with employee unions, cut bargaining costs, and preserve managers' authority to run operations.
It creates an interagency Labor Relations Group led by the Office of Personnel Management, requires agencies to prepare reports before contract renewals, sets negotiation timelines, and requires term collective bargaining agreements to be submitted for public posting. The goal is to make government more efficient, improve employee accountability and performance, and reduce taxpayer expenses through faster, clearer bargaining.
