National Treasury Employees Union v. FLRA, No. 12-1234 (D.C. Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CaseThe Union petitioned for review of the FLRA's decision that the IRS did not commit an unfair labor practice under 5 U.S.C. 7116 when it failed to provide the Union notice or an opportunity to bargain over an increase in the workloads of IRS Case Advocates. Determining that it had jurisdiction to consider the Union's petition, the court concluded that FLRA precedent established that this bargaining obligation arises only when an agency initiates a change in its policies, practices, or procedures, and FLRA reasonably relied on that precedent. FLRA's determination that the Arbitrator erred in finding an unfair labor practice was adequately explained and was neither arbitrary nor capricious. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review.
