New Developments in Employee and Labor Relations is designed to
identify important new case law, policies, and initiatives in Federal employee and labor
relations. The case descriptions are necessarily concise and are only intended to
provide enough detail to allow readers to identify cases of potential interest.
These descriptions should not be interpreted as the Office of Personnel Management's endorsement
of the case law, and some of the holdings raised
in the descriptions may be inconsistent with the Office of Personal Management's policy
and subject to continuing litigation. Readers are also reminded that in some instances the
Office of Personnel Management's policy may
be modified by individual agency regulations and applicable collective bargaining agreements.
In such cases, consultation with agency headquarters staff is essential.
