Since the inception of the federal‐sector labor‐management program in 1963 with the issuance of Executive Order 10988, the program has experienced sixteen years of trending toward collaboration and thirty‐five years of adversarial labor‐management relations. Adversarial labor‐management relationships are antithetical to collaborative labor‐management relationships. Notwithstanding the fact that collaborative labor‐management relations can satisfy the interests of managers and employees through their unions to create better delivery of public service, the confluence of presidential, managerial, and union leader support is hard to create and maintain.
