ABSTRACT
There is no unanimously accepted answer to the question of what the role of labor unions in government agencies should be. Nevertheless, it is of considerable interest to have stated the views of persons who are concerned in their everyday work with this aspect of public administration. The following discussion sets forth the views of three men who are responsible officials of unions of governmental employees and two men who stand in the role of “employer” in important governmental agencies. The viewpoints expressed are solely those of the participants and are in no way expressions of official attitudes or policies of the organizations with which they are connected.
