Establishment of the Defense Labor-Management Partnership Council

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Labor-Management Partnership Council (the Council) 
is being established by the Department of Defense (DoD) in consonance 
with the public interest, and in accordance with the provisions of Pub. 
L. 92-463, the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act.'' The Council is being 
formed pursuant to Executive Order 12871, ``Labor Management 
Partnerships,'' dated October 1, 1993.
    The Council will provide advice to the Secretary of Defense, 
through the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness, on all matters affecting labor-management relations. The 
Council members will work by consensus to formulate approaches that 
empower employees, promote safe and healthful work environments, and 
produce demonstrable improvements in productivity, service, and cost 
savings. In performing its functions, the Council will be guided by 
principles that: put the public interest first; value and respect all 
members of the workforce; focus on common interest and shared problems; 
stress information sharing for an informed workforce; emphasize 
decision-making by consensus; treat all Council partners/members as 
equals; and, resolve conflicts to sustain the partnership.
    The Committee will be composed of approximately 20 to 25 members 
who are experts in labor-management relations from DoD and national 
labor unions. Efforts will be made to ensure that the membership will 
be well balanced in terms of the functions to be performed and interest 
groups represented.
    For further information regarding the Defense Labor-Management 
Partnership Council contact: Mr. Ken Oprisko, telephone: [phone].
