IFPTE Joins Federal Workers Alliance Call for Senate to Advance FLRA Nominees
IFPTE joined with the Federal Workers Alliance (FWA) this week in calling on the Senate to finally advance President Biden’s nominations to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA).
In a letter signed by 21 unions, the FWA points out that nearly nine months into the Biden Administration the FLRA board still includes two anti-federal worker Trump appointees. FWA’s letter asks Congress “to advance the nominations for FLRA Chair, FLRA Member, and FLRA General Counsel as quickly as possible…Doing so will provide relief from a disturbing precedent installed by the previous administration to diminish the systematic protections that administer fairness and effectiveness within the federal workforce.”
