Plain-language summary

Auto-generated summaryWritten by claude-sonnet-5 from the order’s own text · prompt v4 ·

Revokes Executive Order 12871, which had established the National Partnership Council and required federal agencies to form labor-management partnerships for management purposes, along with the amendments made to it by Executive Orders 12983 and 13156. Dissolves the National Partnership Council immediately. Also revokes a 1999 Presidential Memorandum that had reaffirmed and expanded the partnership requirements. Directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management and the heads of executive agencies to promptly rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies implementing or enforcing the revoked order or memorandum, to the extent consistent with law. States that nothing in the order voids collective bargaining agreements already in effect.

Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.

Claimed authority

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered

Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.

Disposition

Revokes: EO 12871, October 1, 1993; Memorandum of October 28, 1999; See: EO 12983, December 21, 1995; EO 13156, May 17, 2000

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
