THE FEDERAL SERVICE IMPASSES PANEL
FINAL ACTIONS
The Federal Service Impasses Panel is the last step in federal sector collective
bargaining -- the substitute for the strike and lockout in the private
sector. Many of the negotiation impasses brought to the Panel are successfully
settled with Panel assistance. If, however, an impasse is not voluntarily
settled, the Panel takes final action which may include directing the parties
to another procedure or imposing settlement terms. These typically occur
through the issuance of a "Decision and Order" if the impasse was considered
by the Panel as a whole, or an "Opinion and Decision", if a Panel Member
or staff person was designated to help resolve the dispute. Below are both
of these final actions.
