Compare and contrast federal labor management relations under two of the following presidents: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump
Bush
President Bush early in his term issued Executive order 13203 which revoked his predecessor’s
eight-year-old executive order establishing the National partnership council and thereby
rescinding agency directives implementing partnerships. He also revoked the mandate to bargain
on issues deemed permissive by the federal labor relations statue. President Bush also placed
further restrictions on collective bargaining in the federal sector when he issued Executive order
1352, which prohibited collective bargaining by employees in five subdivisions of the
Department of justice. He continued to oppose collective bargaining by airport screeners, even
after congress in 2007 included language in a bill implementing the recommendations of the 9/11
study commission that would give TSA employees those rights.
Obama
President Obama took a different approach in his relations with labor leaders, he extended
invitations to labor leaders to the white house which was the first of such they had received in
more than eight years. President Obama in December 2009 signed Executive Order 13522
“which created Labor Management Forums to improve delivery of Government services” that
calls for federal agencies to work together with employees and unions to improve delivery of
high-quality service to the citizens. This order created the National Council on Federal Labor
Management Relations, the executive order did not require agencies to bargain over issues that
the federal labor relations statue deemed to be “permissive”. The order did however charge the
council to establish pilot projects to evaluate the impact of bargaining over these issues. Under
President Obama the TSA employees finally gained to right to be represented by a national union
and they ratified their first collective bargaining agreement.
