Employee Relations & Labor Relations

About Employee Relations and Labor Relations

Sandia’s Employee Relations and Labor Relations programs and team members work to:

• Enable Sandia management to maintain a work environment to encourage employees to function at their highest potential within Sandia’s culture
• Advise all levels of management on employee–management issues as guided by Sandia policy, applicable collective bargaining agreements, and employee and labor law

• Suspended and denied security clearances (Employee Relations)
