Survey of Reserved Management Rights

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) is responsible for interpreting and administering the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) of 1978 as it relates to the labor-management relations program in the federal service. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is responsible for providing guidance, technical assistance, training, and information to agencies on labor-management relations. With these responsibilities, the FLRA and OPM play important roles in the application and effectiveness of reserved management rights and collective bargaining in the federal government.
