FMCS Co-Signs Partnership For Public Service’s Proclamation of Public Service Recognition Week
WASHINGTON, DC (May 3, 2021) – The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) is pleased to join the Partnership for Public Service as one of 63 co-signatories to their proclamation of the 2021 Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW).
PSRW has been celebrated the first week of May for 36 years, with this year’s week running from May 2-8. PRSW is designated by the President and Congress to honor the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local and tribal government employees and recognize their accomplishments as they work tirelessly on behalf of all Americans.
Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, said, “We are honored to have FMCS sign on to the Public Service Recognition week co-chair letter. The image of public employees is strengthened when citizens see us working in cooperation with each other and with the community.”
Stier’s comments were echoed by Gary Hattal, deputy director for FMCS, “Our Agency is grateful to the Partnership for Public Service for their outstanding and unrelenting support to public servants. Our employees, and those around the country serving the public, deserve our recognition for their unwavering devotion to our Nation and its people.”
“We are proud to stand arm-in-arm with the Partnership for Public Service in celebrating PSRW,” said Hattal.

The U.S. Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS) is the nation’s premier public agency for dispute resolution and conflict management.

With headquarters in Washington, D.C. and offices across the country, the agency has a proud track record of decades of effective dispute resolution and conflict management services for employers and unions across industries and work activities in the private, public, and federal sectors. FMCS is also recognized for its success facilitating negotiated rulemaking processes and for its robust employment mediation program in the federal sector as well as its global program, partnering with more than 60 countries to provide international consulting and training.
