WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A federal union Thursday urged the White House to nominate a candidate for the long-vacant post of general counsel at the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
The three-member authority is an independent agency charged with managing labor-management relations for 1.9 million federal employees. Within the FLRA, the general counsel is responsible for the issuance of unfair labor practice complaints, encouraging the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques and expanding labor, management training and education programs.
The National Treasury Employees Union, the largest independent federal union, issued a statement saying the continued vacancy risks serious disruptions in labor-management relations.
NTEU president Colleen Kelley urged President George W. Bush to quickly fill the key position, which was vacated when the recess appointment of the most recent FLRA general counsel ended at the conclusion of the 108th Congress.
She said it is the second time this administration has allowed the position of general counsel to remain vacant.
