a final rule entitled ‘‘Code of
Professional Conduct for Labor
Mediators.’’ This final rule adopted and
codified the Code of Conduct for Labor
Mediators. This Code has not been
updated in nearly sixty years and no

scope of services provided by FMCS
mediators, or best practices for conflict
management and resolution services.
Therefore, FMCS is creating a new code
of professional conduct and is updating
this rule to reference this internal Code
of Professional Conduct for FMCS
Mediators.
