Comments:
Subpart I, section 9901.906 guarantees the employees the right to engage in collective bargaining with respect to conditions of employment through representatives chosen by the employees. The Secretary is attempting to negotiate only with employee's unions at the national level. His actions violate this section - the employees want collective bargaining rights at the organization or local level, not at the national level. The Secretary should abide by his own rules.
