Executive Order 13812: Labor-management forums

What the Executive Order Says

Executive Order (EO) 13812 is entitled "Revocation of Executive Order Creating Labor-Management Forums" and was published September 29th, 2017.  It has 3 sections.

Section 1

In this section, the justification that these Labor-Management forums have not been effective is provided for revoking the EO that established them.

Section 2

This section revokes EO 13522 and also directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management to rescind any orders, rules, regulations, etc. that were implemented for compliance to the original EO.

Section 3

This section includes the necessary legal fine print to assure the constitutionality of this EO.

My Commentary

This was interesting in my review of the EO 13811 which was a continuation of the committees which were previously addressed in EO 13708.  I did not catch that there were advisory committees that did not get renewed.  In review of EO 13522, it does create large structures to be able to sit down and discuss issues.  While I can see how these forums do not fit with the general principles of the Republican party, I believe there is a grain of salt in the justification given.  I am certain that there are some people who care about this, but few of those will be outside Washington, DC.
