Comments:
Information requests – Under NSPS, DoD still has a duty to furnish information to an exclusive representative that is needed in grievance or appeal proceedings or in negotiations subject to similar limitations currently imposed. However, DoD managers will not have to disclose information if they believe that adequate alternative means exist for obtaining the information, or that proper discussion, understanding, or negotiation of a particular subject within the scope of collective bargaining is possible without the information. Managers would just say, 'You don’t need that to talk to me.'
