SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The GLMRC is an advisory body composed of representatives of the 
Federal employee unions representing GSA employees and senior GSA 
officials. The GLMRC was established consistent with Executive Order 
13522, entitled, ``Creating Labor-Management Forums to Improve Delivery 
of Government Services;'' which instructs Federal agencies to establish 
department- or agency-level labor-management forums to help identify 
problems and propose solutions to better serve the public and Federal 
agency missions. The GLMRC is tri-chaired by GSA's Chief Human Capitol 
Officer, together with two senior union officials from each of the two 
Federal employees' unions representing GSA employees.
    The GLMRC works toward promoting cooperative and productive 
relationships between labor and management, providing an opportunity 
for employees through their union representatives to engage in pre-
decisional involvement in all workplace matters to the fullest extent 
practicable, and to advise the GSA administrator on innovative ways to 
improve delivery of services and products to the public while cutting 
costs and advancing employee interests. The May 19, 2015 and May 20, 
2015 meetings will establish GLMRC's priorities for 2015. The GLMRC 
will also discuss workforce planning and employee training and 
development.
    The meetings are open to the public. In order to gain entry into 
the Federal building where the meeting is being held, public attendees 
who are Federal employees should bring their Federal employee 
identification cards, and members of the general public should bring 
their driver's license or other government-issued identification.
