摘要

The report identifies improvements the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service can make in managing its activities and describes opportunities for the Service to end its involvement in most labor disputes having only a minor impact on commerce. The review was made to determine whether the Service's activities were within the authority of enabling legislation and to evaluate the adequacy of its management practices for determining jurisdiction in a labor dispute and for reporting on resources used.
