"Union Says EPA Refuses To Renegotiate 'Imposed' Contract"

"Union leaders say the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is refusing to go back to the bargaining table with employees after a federal union regulator said the agency may have violated the law by imposing its latest contract on workers.

In June, the EPA rolled back the union protections offered to its employees, informing them in an email that it would implement a new contract that remains unsigned by the union itself — a move the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has been fighting all summer.

AFGE argued it was illegal to "impose" a contract."
