Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining

The Office of Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining (OLRCB) represents the District of Columbia as the principal management advocate in the administration of a comprehensive labor management program for agencies under the Mayor's personnel authority. Designing a revised and accurate classification system for District workers to provide more uniform position descriptions for city employees is a primary initiative for the office through the negotiated Labor Management Compensation and Classification Reform Task Force in cooperation with the District's Office of Personnel. 

The Office also represents the District in third party cases including arbitrations and cases before the Public Employee Relations Board and is currently implementing a District-wide grievance tracking system to create accountability.
