    Bypass

    Dealing directly with employees rather than with the exclusive representative regarding negotiable conditions of employment of bargaining unit employees. A bypass is an unfair labor practice prohibited by section 7116(a)(5). It is not, however, a bypass to solicit information that would assist management in making a nonnegotiable determination. See, e.g., 10 FLRA No. 24, 19 FLRA No. 48, and 19 FLRA No. 56.
