Delegation of Authority Under Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute
On January 29, 2020, President Trump signed a memorandum delegating certain authority under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute to agency heads. The memorandum transferred specific powers related to labor-management relations from the Federal Labor Relations Authority to individual federal agencies. This action altered the process by which federal employees could pursue labor disputes and grievances, shifting authority away from the independent FLRA to agency leadership.
