INTERIM GOVERNANCE
With the historic vote to organize a union at GAO behind us, GAO analysts are now turning to the task of developing a governance structure.

Interim Council
A 39-seat Interim Council structure was ratified by GAO union represented employees on October 29, 2007. The Interim Council structure can be viewed here [PDF].

The Interim Council’s primary task is to establish a GAO Local Union Constitution that will outline the GAO Union local structure. The Constitution is to be ratified by union-represented GAO employees. The Interim Council will serve from its election until the adoption of a permanent Constitution and the election of officers under such Constitution.

The Interim Council is not a permanent body; it will exist only in a transitional phase and until a permanent structure is ratified by the bargaining unit.

Until GAO employees adopt a Constitution and dues structure and elect permanent officers and representatives, the Interim Council will serve as the employees’ union representatives, with the assistance of IFPTE professional staff. Employees are urged to contact the Interim Council member for their Mission Team or Field Office, any At-Large member, or IFPTE and volunteer to serve as a communications representative. The Union needs GAO union represented employees to help facilitate a one-on-one, two-way communications network regarding ongoing union activities.
