AFGE files unfair labor practice against Bureau of Prisons
The American Federation of Government Employees filed an unfair labor practice against the Bureau of Prisons for its decision to close seven facilities. AFGE said this decision impacts more than 400 union members in seven states. AFGE said the bureau made the decision to close the facilities without warning or consultation with the union, which violated the terms of its labor-management agreement. In the unfair labor practice, AFGE is asking the Federal Labor Relations Authority to halt the implementation of this reorganization and require BOP to bargain with the union.
