Preserving Presidential Management Authority Act

This bill gives the President more direct say in talks over federal worker union contracts. It says the President can step in to negotiate collective bargaining agreements for federal employees and clarifies what happens if a presidential action conflicts with a contract term.

Key points

• Who is affected: Federal agencies, federal employees, and their unions.
• What changes: The President gets discretion to negotiate union contracts, and the bill clarifies the effect of any presidential action that conflicts with a contract.
• Why it matters: It could speed up or reshape labor talks in the federal government and may change how contract terms stand when they clash with presidential decisions.
