Duties
Help
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: The investigative work supervised often involves prolonged hours of interviews or record reviews in hazardous, hostile environments. Many records are obtained from reluctant sources via administrative or grand jury subpoena. The work may involve considerable exertion to obtain, transport, and ultimately review records. The work requires interviews of witnesses or targets in remote work sites at irregular, unpredictable or unscheduled hours. Complex investigations are multi-tiered, requiring concentration and endurance. Documents are often difficult to obtain, and financial records may have to be completely reconstructed to assess both the subjects guilt and the unions loss. The work may involve interviewing contacts or developing leads in uncomfortable, often hostile environments oftentimes outside normal working hours. The position may also require working for prolonged periods of time without adequate rest.
Conducting investigations requires frequent travel to various geographic sites with or without other investigators. Investigations may require locating witnesses and records, and then conducting extensive, prolonged interviews at irregular hours to satisfy stress provoking time constraints. Travel is sometimes necessary in severe weather on remote roads, in hazardous areas or under hazardous conditions, for up to three weeks at a time. Some casework may have to be done over protracted shift periods and at irregular hours. Interviews may be conducted in arduous circumstances with reluctant witnesses, sometimes exposing the investigator to personal risk. Prosecution support work frequently requires unusually long workdays and long periods away from the assigned duty station.
Considerable endurance is often required to review voluminous records, and physical strength is required for lifting and transporting them. Investigators must often lift heavy boxes or equipment, categorize, store, and secure evidence, all independent of outside help.
WORK ENVIRONMENT: Managerial or supervisory duties are typically performed in office settings, but may involve participation in on-site investigative work. This on-site work often occurs during evening or other irregular hours, in crime ridden areas, factories, on construction sites, or at depots. Investigative activities bring the investigator into direct contact with individuals facing potential criminal charges, loss of their freedom and livelihood, known to commit, attempt, or threaten to commit violence against union members, who own weapons, or are alleged to have ties to organized crime. These contacts also expose the investigator to highly contested, hostile, internal union political and power struggles. These and other situations described above may place the investigator in physical jeopardy.

Supervisors have a responsibility to help ensure that subordinates are aware of their ethical obligations under the Standards of Conduct and that subordinates know how to contact agency ethics officials. Supervisors are also responsible for working with agency ethics officials to help resolve conflicts of interests and enforce government ethics laws and regulations, including those requiring certain employees to file financial disclosure reports. In addition, supervisors are responsible, when requested, for assisting agency ethics officials in evaluating potential conflicts of interest and identifying positions subject to financial disclosure requirements.
