Federal Civilian Personnel: Effects of Unconfirmed Members at the Federal Labor Relations Authority

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed certain issues relating to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), which was established to serve as an independent, neutral third party for resolving labor-management disputes in the federal sector, to: (1) examine whether it can perform its responsibility when the Senate has not confirmed its members; (2) review the role of the General Counsel; and (3) look into its caseload and case processing.
