During negotiations over the impact and implementation of the Agency's

positions assigned to any organizational subdivision, work project,
or tour of duty and the technology, methods and means of performing
work.'"

Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes
of Health, Bethesda, Maryland and Local 2419, American Federation
of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, Case No. 00 FSIP 123, December
22, 2000 (Release No. 437).
Essentially, the UNION proposed 18 pages of labor relations terms
and definitions for inclusion in the collective bargaining agreement,
to help avoid future disagreements.
The AGENCY asked the Panel to order the Union to withdraw its proposal
because the terms were "...arbitrarily chosen..." and
"...do not provide a clearer understanding of the CBA."
The PANEL ordered the Union to withdraw its proposal.
