• Delays in appointing Agency Representatives for arbitrations
  
• Denial of Compressed Work Schedules
• Re-entry Bargaining Unit Staff
• Notification of Agency Representatives on national grievances
• Last Chance Agreements
• Medical Facilities Staffing
• Bureau Credentials

The new agenda items that have been recently added are:

Staff Lockout
Why is the Bureau of Prisons prohibiting staff to enter the secure confines prior to the start of their assigned shifts? Why is the Bureau prohibiting staff from entering into the secure confines after the end of their assigned shift?

This practice is restricting staff from the usage of lockers provided by the agencies, as well as, resources such as computers, restrooms staff lounges etc.


Promotion criteria
What are the criteria or factors used to determine qualifications and/or illegibility for promotions within the Bureau of Prisons? Such as employees clubs, sort teams members, disturbance control members, voluntary functions, affirmative action programs etc.

What criteria is being used against employees who are applying for promotions within the Agency such as the amount of leave accumulation, to include both sick leave and annual?
