What We Do
The Peace Corps
Employees Union represents employees through grievances or disciplinary
issues, collaborates with management to improve the workplace
environment, and strives to educate employees and management on employee rights.
File Grievances
If you believe your supervisor or agency management have violated your
rights under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Union can
represent you in filing a grievance to rectify the situation.
Representation for disciplinary action
If you have received a proposed disciplinary action, or have indication
that this may happen, the Union can serve as your official
representative, helping you understand the process and negotiating to
ensure your fair treatment.
Educate, Collaborate, Negotiate
Not everything that happens in the workplace is a violation of our CBA
rights, or sometimes we don't want to file an official grievance even if
those rights have been violated. The Union can help explain the law
and/or other policies to you and/or management to help rectify an
inadvertent wrongdoing early on. Additionally, through the Joint Labor
Management Forum (JLMF), we alert management to the issues concerning
employees and work as partners to address them and improve our operating
environment.
