Subject:           Representation Rights for Employees in Bargaining Units

The Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA), Section 7114(a)(2)(B) provides a representation right for a bargaining unit member who reasonably believes that an investigative examination may result in a disciplinary action.

Section 7114(a)(3) of the CSRA further requires that each agency inform its employees annually of these rights.

A notice to all bargaining unit members is attached which provides the language required by the statute.  A copy of the notice must be posted on bulletin boards in all Bureau of Land Management (BLM), California offices, but must not be placed on the bulletin board provided to the Union for their exclusive use.

If you have any questions, please contact Christine Foley, Workforce Relations Supervisor at (916) 978-4496.
