Effective December 9, 2009, President Obama's Executive Order 13522 was the most significant change to federal sector labor relations in more than a decade, expanding the obligation of federal supervisors to deal with employee unions proactively — and adding to the existing confusion over what is legally required.

In just 90 minutes, William Wiley provides a clarification on it all. Through a brief review of earlier presidential directives concerning labor relations and a thorough examination of the new regulations, you understand the legal requirements relative to federal sector negotiability and how the Order changes federal labor relations practices.

You get an expert explanation of how the new Order affects you, plus specific guidance on how to:

• Develop a strategy for implementing the EO in your agency
• Measure employee and management satisfaction with the labor relations program
• Understand the role of the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations
• Meet the strict deadlines set by the EO
• And more

And with pending legislation before Congress that would make it easier for unions to form, even organizations without a union presence should prepare for the increased possibility of having one soon. Don't miss your chance to learn your potential role in the new federal labor relations environment.
