Overview

Senior level management, from squadrons up through Air Force headquarters level, are not adequately trained on operating within today's labor relations environment, resulting in a significant waste of resources and millions of dollars, annually. To correct the disconnect between training and supervision of bargain units and unions, in the short term, the Department of Defense needs to provide training to all supervisors involved in labor relations to prevent commonly made mistakes on behalf of leadership. In the longer term, the Department of Defense should evaluate the effectiveness of unions within the military and initiate actions to exempt federal employees of the military from bargaining units.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
