President Trump's anti-Union majority at the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) remained in control for more than a year after Biden entered the White House. In early 2022, ACE Council directors authored and circulated this open letter to Chuck Schumer pressing for confirmation of President Biden's nominees to the FLRA. In May, Susan Grundmann was confirmed by the Senate, finally delivering to the Democrats the majority to which they are entitled as the party of the sitting president. That letter, along with the full list of signatory locals, is here: open_letter_to_chuck_schumer.pdf
UPDATE: As of October 2022, Ernest DuBester remains unconfirmed by the Senate. If DuBester isn't confirmed by the end of the 2022, the Democrats will again lose their majority at the FLRA. Comments are closed.
