- 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.
