From: Forest Gregg
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
records containing the data submitted in notices of bargaining when an initial contract is to be bargained following recognition or certification.
If such records are already included in the F-7 data available on the FMCS website, then I request records sufficient to indicate which of F-7 notices are related to an initial intent to bargain.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Forest Gregg

Dear Sir or Madam,
In reference to FOIA-2022-00029, I am seeking data from From January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2022.

Dear Greg Forest,
May you specify and clarify what is meant by "records containing data submitted in notices..."? What specifically are you looking for? Regards, Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
From: Forest Gregg
If the data has already been extracted from the notices and compiled, then I would like that extracted and compiled data.
For example, your agency takes data from the F-7 notices and compiles those into monthly data releases. If you do a similar extraction and compilation for initial notices of bargaining, then I would like that compiled data.
If that compilation has not been done, then I would like copies of the original notices.
If that is not clear, please give me a call at 931.210.3610.
Best,
Forest

Dear Forest Gregg,
Thank you for your quick response to our follow-up question. The information you are requesting is available on our public facing website here: https://www.fmcs.gov/resources/documents-and-data/. With the information already provided, all you have to do is apply a filter to the Column "Category" for Initial Contracts. To do this, please click on and open the Excel spreadsheet for the year and/or month you are interested in. After the spreadsheet is open, please click on the cell for "Category." On the toolbar, under Home, click the down arrow for "Sort & Filter." Click "Filter." Once that is clicked, you will see that now all the headers have a down arrow next to them. For the header "Category," click the down arrow and unselect all options except for "Initial Contracts" then click OK. That will provide you with the information you are requesting.
Please confirm you are withdrawing this request because it is already publicly available.
Regards,
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service
