Employee Rights to Union Membership

Questions and answers

Under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (FSLMRS), many Federal government bargaining unit employees are eligible for union membership if there is a union at their worksite. However, not all federal employees are covered by bargaining units or eligible to be represented by a union. Employees should consult with their agency’s human resources office to determine their bargaining unit status.
