Not YOU, Ezell.
It's time for class to come to session.
Grieve it all! ULP their autocratic asses.
An inviolable management right is the right to assign work, which this is not.
Basically means anything that doesn’t HAVE to be negotiated w the union—bc management has the right to determine it, period.
It's not *always* clearcut, but there are some subjects which are well-established.
-former labor relations arbitrator.
Seems like that might be a typo when he meant something else like "kingly rights" or "divine rights."
Anybody know?
These guys just try to bs their way to outcomes.
Oh? You don't think I can do that? Well, Provision 3 of Section 12 of Article 2 of The Nid Statute of Natural Truth is implicated, so.
Management can't declare superseding authority. It's a contract.
😬🤡
I guess there is the implied divine right of kings clause we all missed.
Trump revokes 810-year-old prohibition of trial by ordeal
I guess federal employees should learn from Native Americans how much we can trust government guarantees.
"(b)Nothing in this section shall preclude any agency and any labor organization from negotiating—..."
(2)procedures which management officials of the agency will observe in exercising any authority under this section; or
(3)appropriate arrangements for employees adversely affected by the exercise of any authority under this section by such management officials.
You certainly CAN strike if you understand and accept the range of repercussions.
If all the traffic controllers took Musk's offer to quit the country would go to hell in 24 hours. Trump would be on his knees begging them to come back.
They should have immediately all taken the offer.
Clarence, I know it’s not in your nature, but you’ve got to find a new right in the Constitution 🤯
Maybe you can apply it to overturn Dred Scott.

That’s bullshit
Basically nullification of can union in a back handed way
At least in fed
What is the point of unions if management can change the rules at any time?

also, yeah, telework is definitely a bargainable working condition
They're hoping they get sued so they can try to kick it up to scotus and get the NLRA overturned.

If you don't put your people back in these offices, we'll create a financial bubble explosion on a scale surpassing that of 2008/9.
Guess what?
No one is going back to the office.
No one.
So they are saying only management counts.
This is the equivalent of “heads I win, tales you lose.”
