Plain-language summary
Revokes Executive Order 13522, which had created the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations and related agency-level labor-management forums across the executive branch, as well as Executive Order 13708, which had extended it. Directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management and heads of executive departments and agencies to promptly move to rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines, programs, or policies that implemented or enforced Executive Order 13522, consistent with law. States that existing collective bargaining agreements remain unaffected, that the order does not alter agencies' existing legal authority or the Office of Management and Budget's budgetary and legislative functions, and that it must be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to available funding. Also specifies that it creates no enforceable rights or benefits against the government.

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.

Executive Order 13812 of September 29, 2017
Revocation of Executive Order Creating Labor-
Management Forums
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The United States Government should
spend tax dollars responsibly, efficiently, and in the
public interest. The National Council on Federal Labor-
Management Relations (Council) and related agency-level
labor-management forums have consumed considerable
managerial time and taxpayer resources, but they have
not fulfilled their goal of promoting collaboration in
the Federal workforce. Public expenditures on the
Council and related forums have produced few benefits
to the public, and they should, therefore, be
discontinued.
Sec. 2. Revocations. (a) Executive Order 13522 of
December 9, 2009 (Creating Labor-Management Forums to
Improve Delivery of Government Services), as extended
by Executive Order 13708 of September 30, 2015
(Continuance or Reestablishment of Certain Federal
Advisory Committees), which established the Council and
implemented labor-management forums throughout the
executive branch, is hereby revoked.
(b) The Director of the Office of Personnel
Management and heads of executive departments and
agencies shall, consistent with law, promptly move to
rescind any orders, rules, regulations, guidelines,
programs, or policies implementing or enforcing
Executive Order 13522.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
shall abrogate any collective bargaining agreements in
effect on the date of this order.
(b) Nothing in this order shall be construed to
impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(c) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(d) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
