It covers collective bargaining, labor standards, labor investigations, labor disputes, and certification/decertification elections. It requires impartiality and neutrality from DAF personnel and consultation with regional labor advisors on specified labor matters.
Applies to: It applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Department of the Air Force (DAF), United States Space Force (USSF), Regular Air Force, and the Air Force Reserve.
When DAF personnel become aware of a potential or actual contractor labor dispute, the matter should be promptly referred to the cognizant contract administration office, which will notify the labor relations coordinator (LRC) and regional labor advisors (RLA).
LRCs are appointed in writing by the installation commander to serve as the liaison between the DAF installation and the RLA.
Contracting officers must consult with their RLAs prior to making a responsibility determination when a contractor has a questionable record of labor standards compliance, incorporating any wage determinations when applicable contract labor standards are not conclusive, complex wage adjustments, and certification/decertification elections.
Installation commanders appoint an LRC and, in coordination with RLAs, work with local union officials to address contractor labor relations issues.
If an installation relies on significant contractor support, the installation commander should develop an installation labor strike plan to address contingencies and operational changes associated with a contractor strike.
