Due to a lapse in funding, the OCWR is closed and will not reopen until funding has been restored. If you are filing a new unfair labor practice charge, negotiability appeal, or representation petition, you may still file it by electronic mail, postal mail, or facsimile, and our office will begin processing it upon reopening. Because the OCWR office is closed, it will not be possible for a claimant to hand deliver a charge or petition during a lapse in funding. To ensure that your filing is considered timely during this lapse in funding, you should attempt to serve all other parties as required by OCWR Procedural Rules.
