Information on the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service's Reorganization Due to 1982 Budget Reductions

GAO was asked for information concerning the possible impact of fiscal year 1982 budget reductions on the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service's (FMCS) effectiveness. Of specific concern were the: (1) reductions in the number of regional offices, personnel, office space, and equipment; and (2) cutbacks in the Houston, Texas, office and their impact on that office's effectiveness.
