About The FLRA

The FLRA is an independent administrative federal agency that was created by Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (also known as the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute) (the Statute). The Statute allows certain non-postal federal employees to organize, bargain collectively, and to participate through labor organizations of their choice in decisions affecting their working lives. The primary statutory responsibilities of the FLRA include:

• resolving complaints of unfair labor practices,

• determining the appropriateness of units for labor organization representation,

• adjudicating exceptions to arbitrator's awards,

• adjudicating legal issues relating to duty to bargain/negotiability, and

• resolving impasses during negotiations.
