What this service is:

Government agencies, unions, and attorneys get full coverage of the latest developments in employee relations at federal, state, and local levels—plus valuable lead time for better planning with Government Employee Relations Report.

What it helps you do:

• Be prepared for changes in policies, plans, and operations with complete coverage of current public-sector employment, personnel, and labor relations developments.
• Assess the impact of new legislative, regulatory, and legal developments on the government workforce. Have the information you need to make important business decisions and steer clear of litigation.
• Read about events as they happen. Stay ahead of the latest memos and policy guides published at federal or state headquarters — otherwise often late or slow in arriving.
• Receive sound guidance. Learn how other government employee relations and legal professionals handle situations similar to yours.
• Lighten the load. Periodic indexes, special reports, calendar of events, and other extras make your job easier.
• Gain new perspectives from BNA Insights by nationally prominent practitioners, exclusive interviews with public officials and union leaders, and coverage of conferences and seminars.
• Review federal, state, and local decisions by courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators affecting government employees, including summaries of Merit Systems Protection Board and Federal Labor Relations Authority rulings.
• Be aware of recent collective bargaining settlements involving municipal, county, and state employees. A collective bargaining roundup covers public safety employees, teachers, transit workers, health care workers, and other employee groups for those who need to know salary and benefit trends for bargaining purposes.
