The Executive Order 13201
|
Executive Order 13201 (E.O. 13201) states that government contracts and subcontracts must include an employee notice clause (Beck Poster) requiring non-exempt federal contractors and subcontractors to post notices informing their employees that they have certain rights related to union membership and use of union dues and fees under federal law.
The clause does not have to be included in government contracts for purchases below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $100,000 for contracts entered into on or after April 28, 2004, and resulted from solicitation issued on or after April 18, 2001. Also, certain contractors or worksites are exempt from the E.O. 13201. The posting requirement does not apply to:
- Contractors with fewer than 15 employees;
- Contractor establishments or construction work sites where no union has been formally recognized by the prime contractor or certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of the prime contractor's employees;
- Contractor establishments where state law forbids enforcement of union-security clauses ("right-to-work" states); or
- Work performed outside the United States that does not involve the recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.
The Department of Labor's Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) and Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) jointly implement E.O. 13201.
