  • specify objectives for agencies to negotiate collective-bargaining agreements and establish the Interagency Labor Relations Working Group,
  • establish principles for the removal and discipline of federal employees and other personnel issues,
  • prohibit government contractors and other entities from conducting specified workplace training related to race or sex,
  • place certain executive agency positions under a new schedule in the excepted service instead of the competitive service, and
  • delegate authority to the Secretary of Defense to exclude the Department of Defense from certain labor-relations requirements.
