On January 21, President Biden nominated Ernest DuBester as Chairman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). Already a member of the FLRA, his selection as chairman is effective immediately, without Senate confirmation.

DuBester was originally appointed and later renominated to the FLRA by President Barack Obama. He was again nominated by President Donald Trump. He has previously served as chairman during portions of both the Obama and Trump administrations. 

FMA has worked with Mr. DuBester and his colleagues, serving together on the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations in previous years. We congratulated him on his role as chairman and look forward to working together on behalf of federal managers and the entire federal workforce.
