ULP INFORMAL SETTLEMENT. SECTION 1. This Article sets forth procedures for processing unfair labor practice allegations under 5 USC 7116 before such allegations are formally filed with the Federal Labor Relations Authority under its rules. The express intent of the parties is to facilitate informal discussion concerning alleged unfair labor practices and enhance the possibility of informal resolution thereof, before such allegations are formalized before a third party. SECTION 2. The procedures set forth herein will be applied when either party alleges that the other party has violated a provision of 5 USC 7116; however, allegations involving Section 7116(b)(7)(A) are exempt from this Agreement. SECTION 3. The procedure set forth in this Article shall not negate either party's right under 5 USC 71 to allege violations of Section 7116 of that Title before the Federal Labor Relations Authority in accordance with its rules. However, where the parties execute a settlement agreement resolving a particular allegation, that allegation shall be precluded from further processing before the Authority.
