FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beth Schindler, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#523021313a3b3c363e372012343f31217c353d24"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="accedfcfc4c5c2c8c0c9deeccac1cfdf82cbc3da">[email protected]</span></a>,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 7, 2023, 29 CFR part 1406 became
effective. This rule provides that ``FMCS may convene the parties for a
threatened or actual work stoppage whenever in its judgment such
dispute threatens to cause a substantial interruption of commerce'' and
that ``FMCS will determine the date, time, place, and manner (virtual,
in-person, or hybrid) of services.'' 29 CFR 1406.1 (b) and (c). FMCS
hereby provides notice that FMCS intends to convene parties involved in
private sector work stoppages for the purposes of mediating the
dispute. FMCS will convene parties for work stoppages that proceed
unabated for 30 continuous calendar days or fewer, if the parties are
in certain critical industries. Exceptions will apply if the work
stoppage does not threaten to cause a substantial interruption of
commerce. Parties will be provided written notice of the date, time,
place, and manner (virtual, in-person, or hybrid) of the mediation. The
parties will continue to be convened at regular intervals until the
work stoppage is resolved.
Dated: December 20, 2023.
Anna Davis,
General Counsel.
