Prohibits the commission of unfair labor practices.
Labor Compliance Advisor
Executive Order 13673 directs each agency to designate a senior agency official to serve as a labor compliance advisor (LCA). LCAs are primarily responsible for implementation of the Order within the agency and for promoting awareness of and respect for the importance of labor law compliance through their interactions with senior agency officials, contracting officers, and contractors. The DOE LCA, the Assistant General Counsel for Labor and Pension Law, is a career civil servant with sufficient authority to bring issues to the Deputy Secretary or other appropriate agency leadership as needed.
The proposed Federal Acquisition Regulation rule implements the EO requirements to:
- Disclose labor violations: for contracts over $500,000, offerors and contractors report civil judgments, arbitral awards/decisions, and administrative merits determinations for 14 named laws and equivalent State laws. Prime contractors must report same information for covered subcontractors.
- See DOE Order 350.3 for current procedures for disclosing labor law violations and other information http://energy.gov/gc/downloads/doe-order-3503.
- Assess disclosures: Provides direction to Contracting Officers in making responsibility determinations with the advice of Labor Compliance Advisors (LCAs), including the effect of mitigating actions.
