(USF) Setting Up Unions
To set up U.S. Federal Government union and contract information use the Unions USF component (GVT_BU_UNION).
Use the Unions USF to define codes and record data for unions to which agency workers belong. You or others in your agency might need information on union workers for collective bargaining agreement negotiations, grievance tracking, or pay step increases.
This topic discusses how to set up union data in US Federal implementations.
