Federal Labor Relations Authority decertifies National ICE Council
On Aug. 11, Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) Regional Director Jessica S. Bartlett granted the American Federation of Government Employees’ (AFGE) petition to disclaim representational interest in AFGE Council 118—the National ICE Council—and decertified the union. National ICE Council President Chris Crane called the decision whistleblower retaliation, and U.S. Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said that the Council’s interests were not represented.
