                          LITIGATION MANUAL

The Litigation Manual provides information on prosecuting unfair labor practice
cases under the Federal Service Labor-Management  Relations Statute (the
Statute). The Litigation Manual has been prepared by the Federal Labor Relations
Authority (FLRA), Office of the General Counsel (OGC) pursuant to section 7104(f)
of the Statute. The Litigation Manual is intended to provide a resource tool for
Regional Office employees when litigating unfair labor practice complaints under
the Statute. The Manual covers each aspect of the trial process-from the issuance
of a complaint and notice of hearing and the final issuance of a decision and order.
It refers to relevant case law and contains examples of litigation techniques that
will assist the Trial Attorney in developing a litigation strategy. The Manual is
divided into two binders. Binder I contains the litigation guidance. Binder 2
contains reference materials, forms, guidance and models. For information on
preventing, resolving, and investigating unfair labor practice charges, see the
Unfair Labor Practice Case Handling Manual.

The Litigation Manual is published in a handbook style format to make it user
friendly. The Litigation Manual will be updated annually. Since party
understanding of the litigation process and regulatory requirements is critical to the
timely and effective processing of unfair labor practice complaints by the Regional
Offices, the Litigation Manual is available to all parties and individuals who are
involved in filing and litigating unfair labor practice complaints. The Litigation
Manual  may be accessed from the FLRA  web site, www.FLRA.gov, and is available
for purchase from the Government Printing Office.

The Litigation Manual provides guidance for the FLRA, OGC staff when litigating
unfair labor practice complaints under the Statute. The Litigation Manual is not
intended to be a condensed version of all substantive law, nor it is intended to be a
substitute for knowledge of the law. The Litigation Manual is not a ruling or
directive, nor is it binding upon the FLRA General Counsel, FLRA Administrative
Law Judges  or the FLRA decisional component. Although the Regional Office
staff refers to the Litigation Manual when processing cases, the Litigation Manual
does not encompass  all situations that may be encountered in litigating unfair labor
practice complaints. Thus, responsible, professional judgment and experience are
required in applying and utilizing these guidelines.
