RE: SB/SE — NTEU Files Unfair Labor Practice Charge Against the IRS Over Implementation of Electronic Transmittal of Offers-In-Compromise Cases and Installment Agreements
SUMMARY: NTEU has filed an unfair labor practice charge with the Federal Labor Relations Authority charging the IRS with unilateral implementation of the electronic transmittal of Offers-In-Compromise cases and Installment Agreements.
NTEU has filed the attached unfair labor practice (ULP) charge with the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) charging the IRS with unilateral implementation of the electronic transmittal of Offers-In-Compromise (OIC) cases and Installment Agreements (IAs) in SB/SE, Advisory, Insolvency and Quality (AIQ).
On or around January 2009 through May 2009, the IRS unilaterally implemented a pilot of electronic transmittal of OIC cases in SB/SE without providing NTEU with notice or an opportunity to bargain. The electronic transmittal constitutes a new procedure for transmitting cases to bargaining unit employees and impacts the manner in which employees perform case reviews. NTEU contacted the IRS and was informed that management determined the pilot did not have a significant impact on bargaining unit employees and did not require notice to NTEU. Subsequently, NTEU learned that the IRS is in the process of fully implementing the electronic transmittal of OIC and Installment Agreements in all groups in AIQ. NTEU has not been given notice and an opportunity to bargain the impact and implementation of these changes.
NTEU filed the ULP charge with the FLRA to enforce our statutory and contractual rights to bargain over the impact and implementation of changes in conditions of employment. NTEU is soliciting your comments to identify how the electronic transmittal of OIC cases and Installment Agreements impact bargaining unit employees.
