                Executive Order 13812 of September 29, 2017

                
Revocation of Executive Order Creating Labor-
                Management Forums

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Policy. The United States Government should 
                spend tax dollars responsibly, efficiently, and in the 
                public interest. The National Council on Federal Labor-
                Management Relations (Council) and related agency-level 
                labor-management forums have consumed considerable 
                managerial time and taxpayer resources, but they have 
                not fulfilled their goal of promoting collaboration in 
                the Federal workforce. Public expenditures on the 
                Council and related forums have produced few benefits 
                to the public, and they should, therefore, be 
                discontinued.

                Sec. 2. Revocations. (a) Executive Order 13522 of 
                December 9, 2009 (Creating Labor-Management Forums to 
                Improve Delivery of Government Services), as extended 
                by Executive Order 13708 of September 30, 2015 
                (Continuance or Reestablishment of Certain Federal 
                Advisory Committees), which established the Council and 
                implemented labor-management forums throughout the 
                executive branch, is hereby revoked.

                    (b) The Director of the Office of Personnel 
                Management and heads of executive departments and 
                agencies shall, consistent with law, promptly move to 
                rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, 
                programs, or policies implementing or enforcing 
                Executive Order 13522.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall abrogate any collective bargaining agreements in 
                effect on the date of this order.

                    (b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to 
                impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (c) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

                    (d) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any 
                other person.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    September 29, 2017.
