The cover displays an image of the Rotunda and the Declaration Mural, one of the 1936 Faulkner Murals in the Rotunda at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Building in Washington, DC. The National Archives Rotunda is the permanent home of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. These three documents, known collectively as the Charters of Freeedom, have secured the the rights of the American people for more than two and a quarter centuries. In 2003, the National Archives completed a massive restoration effort that included conserving the parchment of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and re-encasing the documents in state-of-the-art containers.

The Union is the certified representative of a unit of police officers employed by the USCP. The parties are governed by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was to have expired on June 9, 2013, but remains in effect until superseded by a successor CBA. I. Statement of the Case The five proposals in the Union’s petition for review in this case arose, in accordance with Article 8, Changes in Conditions of Employment, of the parties’ current CBA, after it was notified that the USCP intended to make certain changes to absence and leave procedures, as set forth in draft Directive 2053.004, Absence and Leave.1 An Absence and Leave Policy has been in 1 Unlike the Board’s decision in 16-LM-02, issued on this same date, this negotiability appeal involves mid-term 2 place at the Department since 1996 and was reissued under Directive 2053.004 on April 5, 2013.
