Labor Relations
The Union's policies established
in regard to its Labor Program on a National level has been designed to
accomplish the objectives set forth in the NAPFE Constitution. To this
end, the program focus is on representation, training/education and technical
assistance. The chief concern of our Union has been and will always be,
the welfare of its members.
The primary responsibilities for representing NAPFE
members rest with Locals and Districts. In accomplishing this responsibility,
a NAPFE representative may be faced with the utilization of any one of
over 18 different forums and at least as many laws and regulations when
completing his representation duties. Our representatives may be
required to utilize any one or more of the following:
-
EEO/race, sex, national origin, religion and
Retaliation
- Age Discrimination
- Handicap Discrimination
- Fair Labor Standards
- Civil Service Reform Act
- Merit Systems Principles; MSPB
- Veterans Preference
- National Labor Relations Act
- Grievance/Arbitration
- Workers Compensation
- Occupational Safety and Health
- Postal Service Regulations - E&LR Manual Part
650, etc.
- Office of Personnel Management
- Disability Retirement
- Hiring Procedures
- Promotion Procedures
- U. S. Constitution
- Federal Labor Relations Authority
Advocacy in these areas would of course, require
familiarity with the appropriate rules and regulations. The emphasis of
the National Programs consistent with the objectives of the Constitution
is to train the Labor Relations Officers of the Locals and Districts so
that they will not only be adequate representatives, but in addition, will
provide the same training in their respective areas, thus ensuring that
each Local and District can meet its constitutional responsibility.
