This section creates the Foreign Service Labor Relations Board within the Federal Labor Relations Authority. It sets the Board’s membership, terms, compensation, vacancies, and removal rules.

(a) A Foreign Service Labor Relations Board is established within the Federal Labor Relations Authority. It has three members. The Authority’s Chairman is one member and chairs the Board. The Chairperson appoints the other two members from nominees approved in writing by the covered agencies and the exclusive employee representative, if any. If they cannot agree on nominees, the Chairperson appoints people the Chairperson considers knowledgeable about labor-management relations and foreign affairs. (b) The Chairperson serves while serving as Authority Chairman. Of the first two other members, one serves two years and one serves three years. Later, each other member serves three years, except a person filling an early vacancy serves the rest of the predecessor’s term. The Chairperson may designate an Authority member as alternate Chairperson at any time. (c) A vacancy does not prevent the remaining members from exercising the Board’s full powers. (d) Other than the Chairperson, Board members may not hold another Government office or position unless law authorizes it. They receive the daily equivalent of Executive Schedule level V pay for each day performing duties, including travel time. (e) After a hearing, the Chairperson may remove another member for corruption, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or demonstrated inability to perform the member’s functions. The member may waive the hearing right in writing.
