NATIONAL CONSULTATION RIGHTS (NCR)

Under 5 USC 7113, the right of a union accorded such recognition to be consulted on agency-wide regulations before they are promulgated. NCR is to be distinguished from 5 USC 7117(d)(1) consultation rights with respect to Government wide regulations, under which a union accorded such recognition must be consulted on proposed Government wide regulations before they are promulgated.

NEGOTIABILITY DISPUTES

Disputes over whether a proposal is nonnegotiable because (a) it is inconsistent with laws, rules, and regulations establishing conditions of employment and/or (b) it interferes with the exercise of rights reserved to management by 5 USC 7106.
