The Government of the District of Columbia, in partnership with its employees and their labor unions, has embarked on an ambitious process to transform city government into a responsive structure capable of delivering the highest quality of services to its constituents. Transformation will be achieved by changing the nature of labor–management interactions so that managers, employees, and their elected representatives serve as partners in the design and implementation of change.

District departments, agencies, and unions can embrace partnership through the creation of labor–management partnership councils (LMPC). Partnership is a voluntary process of labor and management working together to improve communication with the common goals of anticipating and resolving mutual problems and enhancing the work environment.
