Management, Union ink commitment Published July 11, 2013 Robins Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Base and local union officials signed a joint statement June 25 in which they agreed to "work together ... for the betterment of the Robins Air Force Base mission and all employees." The statement was developed during a meeting with the two sides and a representative of the Federal Labor Relations Authority - an independent agency which oversees labor relations between the government and its employees. Several months ago, it was highlighted that during the last year more grievances were filed by employees here than at the two other bases with air logistic complexes - Hill in Utah and Tinker in Oklahoma - combined. Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, 78th Air Base Wing and Union leadership decided it was time to work with a neutral party to improve relations and communications. To complete the statement, Robins and local Union officials acknowledged their relationship "must be built on a solid foundation of trust, mutual respect and a shared responsibility for organizational success." They then affixed their signatures - 16 in all - to the document.
