The union, AFGE 222, has issued a letter to HUD Secretary Scott Turner and OPM's acting director, challenging a new directive mandating federal employees to report accomplishments weekly. They argue this directive is unlawful, violating federal labor laws and collective bargaining agreements, and suggesting it pressures employees and infringes on privacy. Notably, the union emphasized that changes to employee reporting requirements must first be negotiated, alleging that the directive constitutes an unbargained imposition. They demand immediate revocation due to these concerns.
AFGE 222 argues that the directive issued is unlawful, violates federal labor laws, breaches the collective bargaining agreement, and infringes upon employee privacy protections.
Establishing a new, mandatory weekly reporting requirement without prior consultation marks a clear violation of the collective bargaining agreement adopted in December.
AFGE claims the directive violates the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute by introducing new performance-tracking requirements that bypassed the collective bargaining process.
The union highlighted that employees were not informed on data collection, storage, or usage, raising significant privacy concerns.
