Read a random definition: union certification
A quick definition of Federal Labor Relations Authority:
Federal Labor Relations Authority: A group that makes sure that people who work for the government can join together and talk to their bosses about things like pay and working conditions. They also help the workers choose someone to speak for them. This group was started in 1979 and is called FLRA for short.
A more thorough explanation:
The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) is an agency that protects the rights of federal employees to organize, engage in collective bargaining, and choose their own union representatives. It was established in 1979 under Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1978.
For example, if a group of federal employees want to form a union to negotiate better working conditions and pay, the FLRA ensures that they have the right to do so. The FLRA also helps resolve disputes between federal agencies and unions, ensuring that both parties are treated fairly.
