MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Training Course in Labor -Management Relations
REFERENCE : Multiple adse memo dtd 27 Nov 70 fm A-DD/S,
same subject
1. I agree with your opinion that the Office of Logistics(OL) is most logically
the component where employee unionization might arise. Further, I think this would
first occur within the Wage or Labor Board category of employees of which we have a
large number in our Printing Services and Supply Divisions.
2. In view of this I have nominated Mr. Chief, Printing Services
Division, OL, and Mr. Deputy ~Fuef, Supply Division,
OL, to attend this course and have requested the OL Training Officer to initiate action
for their enrollment. After evaluation of this first course, a decision will be made on
attendance at subsequent courses offered.

1. 1 agree with the recommendation in Reference (b) that the Offices
of Logistics and Personnel should both be represented in the CSC course an
"Management and the Negotiated Agreement". In the event Agency employees
were to display a serious interest in unionization, the Of#i : of Personnel
would be involved in view of its Agency-wide responsibilities and the Office
of Logistics appears to be the component where such interest might logically
evolve.

On October 1, I met with many of you for an IAG luncheon at which
we discussed the high level interest in the Federal labor relations
program and the high priority need for labor relations training
throughout the Federal service.
Following the meeting, I asked Ken Mulligan to provide you with
a schedule of labor relations courses which will be conducted this
year by the Commission both here and in the regions. These courses
should be very helpful in meeting your training needs or in
augmenting your current training efforts.
I want to call your attention to one of these courses, "Management
and the Negotiated Agreement," which will be conducted in Washington
January 18-22, 1971 (announcement enclosed). The course is designed
to provide Federal managers with a thorough understanding of their
roles and responsibilities in Federal labor relations and to equip
them with the skills and knowledges necessary for developing sound
management relations with employee organizations.
I strongly urge that you read the announcement carefully and begin
now to identify high level managers in your organizations and
encourage them to participate in this training.
Sincerely yours,
r,

MANAGEMENT AND THE NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT
Approximately 1,477,000 or 54% of all federal employees now have exclu-
sive representation by labor organizations. This representation is currently
achieved through 2,647 exclusive units of recognition. Collective negoti-
ations, however, are not finished but rather are dust Beginning when
recognition is granted and an agreement is signed. As important as the
agreement itself is the manner in which it is applied and lived with from
day to day.
Under these conditions, managers will be confronted with new decisions,
problems, attitudes and relationships. It is essential that they know their
obligations and responsibilities and to understand the nature of differences
when living under these agreements.
This five-day seminar is directed toward providing federal managers and
their staff assistants with (1) an appreciation for the need to develop sound
relations with employee groups (2) an understanding of their obligations,
authorities, and appropriate conduct under the executive order.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Labor Relations
Since the greatest likelihood of unionization of Agency
employees is in the Logistics area, I wonder whether someone
from that Office should not attend the course mentioned, here.
This is not purely a Personnel concern because it is addressed
to the problems of relations with employee groups essentially
from a management point of view. Though I may want to send.
someone from my Office, I think consideration ought to be given
to having at least one person from the Logistics hierarchy or
from your own staff exposed to these subjects. I recognize that
we do not at the moment have a union problem, but I don't think
that there is any guarantee that we will never have. I would
appreciate your thinking on this. Note that the deadline for
nominations is 28 December.
