On November 12, 2019, the Trump administration signed Memorandum 2019-25118 delegating removal authority over the Federal Service Impasses Panel to the Office of Personnel Management Director. This memorandum transferred decision-making power over federal employee labor disputes from an independent panel to a presidentially-appointed official. The direct effect was to shift control of federal labor dispute resolution away from a bipartisan panel toward executive branch authority.
