The Federal Labor-Management Partnership Act of 2024 creates a new Federal Labor-Management Partnership Council to improve cooperation between management and labor unions in federal government agencies. The council would be composed of representatives from key federal agencies, major federal employee labor unions, management officials, and senior executives, with the Director of the Office of Personnel Management and Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget serving as co-chairs. The bill requires all federal agencies with unionized workforces, along with three specific legislative branch agencies—the Architect of the Capitol, Government Accountability Office, and Capitol Police—to establish labor-management committees, provide conflict resolution training, involve employees in workplace decisions before they are finalized, and evaluate the effectiveness of their partnership efforts. The council would meet at least quarterly and provide guidance to agencies on partnership best practices, though members would serve without additional compensation. The bill does not specify dedicated funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond requiring quarterly meetings.
