From the new attorney’s fees standard to the use of official time, Best Practices in Federal Labor Relations — Trends, Analysis and Guidance provides an overview of significant developments in law and regulation, as well as new programs, case law and best practices. You discover the changes in labor relations since the Bush administration took office, including the new Federal Service Impasses Panel, the debate over how much authority the president should have to revoke collective bargaining rights, and how to maintain productive labor relations even though the mandate to bargain over "permissive" issues has been rescinded.
