Council 222 is primarily responsible for negotiating over proposed changes in working conditions that impact employees nationwide. Thus, we bargain over implementation of new technology, reorganizations and realignments, reasonable accommodation and hardship transfer policies, and more. This page includes notices from management of proposed changes, and the Council's bargaining proposals. Until the parties meet at the bargaining table, the Council's propsals may be added to and amended. Look here to keep track of the latest proposed changes at HUD. If issues are important to you, give your suggestions to your local President. Completed bargaining can be found in the links to the right.
