For now, the best place to get a sense of what it has done is its press release. We have always seen agency assertions of non-negotiability as opening a pandora’s box of trouble for the agency if the union takes advantage of all its tactical negotiability options.  For a sense of what those options are, check out “Test yourself #2- Strategic Negotiability Decisions.”
