Who May File
A GAO employee, labor organization of the GAO, or
GAO may file a charge alleging commission of an unfair labor practice (ULP).
When to File
In accordance with
4 C.F.R. §28.121(c), a ULP
charge must first be filed directly with the party against whom the ULP charge
is alleged within six months of the occurrence of the alleged unfair
labor practice (except, the charging party may go directly to the Board in cases
dealing with picketing that interferes with GAO's operations, a strike, work
stoppage, or slowdown, or if the charged party condoned such activities. See
GAO Order 5711.1, Paragraph 12(b)(8) and (9) Labor-Management Relations
(April 27, 2001)).
If the charge has not been resolved within 30
days of its submission to the charged party, or if it is alleged that a labor
organization has engaged in picketing that interferes with GAO's operations,
a strike, work stoppage, or a slowdown, the charging party may file a charge
with the PAB/OGC. Further, the unfair labor practice charge must be filed with
PAB/OGC within nine (9) months of the alleged unfair labor practice.
