A White House task force on Monday said that federal agencies can do a better job of fostering positive relations with federal employee unions simply by being more transparent with employees and job applicants, as well as improving communications with labor groups.
The White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, established via executive order last year and chaired by Vice President Kamala Harris and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, published its first report to the president this week, although the group provided the document to President Biden last October. It contains more than 70 recommendations for federal agencies to make it easier for employees in both the federal and private sectors to organize or join a union.
