Welcome to the Employment and Labor Law Division
The Employment and Labor Law Division provides advice and guidance to
management regarding employment and labor law issues, including the legal
standards for taking adverse and performance-based actions; laws regarding
discrimination and harassment; issues relating to labor relations, unions,
collective bargaining agreements, negotiations, and grievances; and statutes,
regulations, and policies relating to the administration of leave and
other employee benefits. Division attorneys represent the Department,
its bureaus and activities, in administrative proceedings relating to
employment or labor law matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Merit Systems Protection Board, the Federal Labor Relations
Authority, and the Foreign Service Grievance Board. This representational
function also extends to third-party arbitrations and mediations. Division
attorneys assist the Department of Justice and the various U.S. Attorney
Offices in representing the agency in Federal courts.
