Bargaining History

Both parties were in agreement that a flexible workplace program could be of benefit to employees and the DOL mission. But, before an activity is established, they agreed on the need for a joint task force to examine the opportunities for a pilot project.

The Union, for its part, would like to see that a flexiplace program be established as soon as feasible. Management is interested in the results of the task force study.

As regards the Federal Workplace Pilot Program to facilitate the return of FECA employees to DOL rolls, and those employees on long-term sick leave, both parties support the activity.

It is the intention of the parties that the task force present its recommendations to the Departmental Labor-Management Relations Committee. Those recommendations will require the approval of both DOL Management and Local 12.
