LABOR RELATIONS UNIT

Labor Relations Unit (LRU)

The Labor Relations Unit is responsible for providing expert consultation to employees, employee representatives, agency representatives and agency management in the area of collective bargaining and contract application.

The goal of the Labor Relations Unit is to promote the development and growth of collaborative labor-management relationships and to provide accurate and comprehensive guidance that will empower agency management to make informed decisions as labor challenges arise.

The LRU provides expert advice, technical guidance, training, and policy support to the agencies concerning labor-management and labor relations matters arising within the collective bargaining units.

The primary objective of the LRU is to maintain a positive labor-management relationship, and to successfully negotiate labor agreements while applying an appropriate interpretation of the agreements
