OpportunityTitle: Labor-Management Cooperation Grant Program
CategoryExplanation: The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) provides federal grants to support the establishment and operation of plant-level, area-wide or industry joint labor-management committees confronting specific, definable problems for which they have developed clear, innovative and measurable long-term solutions.  Applicants MUST be covered by a formal collective bargaining agreement to be eligible.
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Competition will be open to committees at any of these levels, plant or company, area or industry.  FMCS encourages labor-management committees who are confronting specific, definable problems for which they have developed clear, innovative and measurable long-term solutions to apply.  All applications should focus directly on supporting the needs of the committee.  Applicants should avoid seeking funds for activities that are clearly available under other federal programs (e.g. facilitation, training, mediation of contracts, etc.).
Description: In accordance with the terms of the Labor-Management Cooperation Act of 1978, FMCS considers applicants from plant, industry, geographic or area-wide committees. During this grant cycle, we especially encourage applications from committees focused on the 21st century economy and the challenges of a rapidly evolving workplace, such as; job security and skills; working conditions for an increasingly mobile workforce; consensus solutions to workplace standards; organizational effectiveness; economic development and competitiveness for entire communities; hiring and retaining the next generation of workers.
