Federal Worker Unions: Protecting Rights and Shaping Policy
Federal worker unions play a crucial role in representing the interests of civilian employees working for the United States government. Unlike the private sector where collective bargaining is often more broadly defined, federal sector labor relations operate under a specific legal framework established by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, primarily Title VII, also known as the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. This statute outlines the rights and responsibilities of federal employees, agencies, and labor organizations.
