With respect to the powers of a federal

employees union,which statement is True?

1. It can bargain to obtain better pay
and benefits for employees.
2. It cannot lobby Congress for
personnel policy changes.
3. It can overrule the decisions of
the Office of Personnel Management.
4. It cannot order employees to strike
as a way of negotiating.

Isn't number 4 True?

Right.

Apparently the Federal Emplyees Union cannot bargain for better pay and benefits.

To answer this question, we need to understand the powers and limitations of a federal employees union. A federal employees union is an organization that represents the interests of federal employees and advocates for their rights and benefits.

Now, let's break down each statement and determine which one is true:

1. It can bargain to obtain better pay and benefits for employees.
This statement is true. A federal employees union has the power to negotiate and bargain with the federal government to seek better pay and benefits for its members. Through collective bargaining, the union can engage in discussions and negotiations to achieve favorable terms and conditions of employment.

2. It cannot lobby Congress for personnel policy changes.
This statement is false. A federal employees union can indeed lobby Congress to advocate for personnel policy changes. Lobbying involves advocating for specific issues or changes in legislation. Unions often engage in lobbying activities to promote the interests of their members and influence policy decisions.

3. It can overrule the decisions of the Office of Personnel Management.
This statement is false. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is a government agency responsible for managing the civil service system and overseeing federal employee policies. A federal employees union does not have the authority to overrule OPM's decisions. However, it can negotiate with OPM to address concerns or seek changes in personnel policies.

4. It cannot order employees to strike as a way of negotiating.
This statement is true. Federal employees are restricted by law from striking as a means of negotiating or resolving labor disputes. The Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute prohibits federal employees from engaging in strikes. Instead, federal employee unions utilize alternative methods such as collective bargaining, mediation, or arbitration to resolve disputes and negotiate with the government.

So, the correct answer is statement number 4: "It cannot order employees to strike as a way of negotiating." This statement is true. The other statements, 1, 2, and 3, are false or misleading.
