Formal Discussions
nFormal Discussions
nExamination of Employees
Unions have a right to represent employees in formal discussions between management and employees.

Two criteria are critical in determining whether a discussion is a formal discussion:
  • who will be at the meeting; and
  • the subject of the discussion.
REF:
nTitle 5 USC Ch 71;
n 5 CFR Chapter XIV
A formal discussion requires that the meeting include:
  • one or more representatives of the agency (e.g., supervisors, management officials, personnelists, or attorneys); and
  • one or more employees in the bargaining unit or their representative(s).


A meeting is not a formal discussion unless the subject of the discussion concerns grievances or personnel policies, personnel practices, or other general conditions of employment.
