Are the new contractors allowed to make personnel changes without knowledge of the SWO or is this a violation of the Executive Order on Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts from November 2021?

Not sure since the original bid was issued before the Executive Order was signed.

Looks like the executive order that Biden signed doesn't apply to our contracts. This is directly from the contractors office.
The CWO contracts just awarded do not contain a clause associated with EO 14055.
There was not a clause in the solicitation nor in the awards for the “Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers.” The clause didn’t exist when the solicitation was issued and still do not exist currently. The EO 14055 was issued on November 18, 2021, in this EO the Secretary of Labor was given 180 days to implement the requirements, then the FAR council was given 60 days to provide for inclusion of a clause to solicitations and contracts. The FAA policy section will provide for a clause around the same time as the FAR council (FAA is not FAR based acquisition). Therefore, there is no clause for inclusion in contracts and solicitations until at least mid-July 2022

When a new contractor takes over, the old union contract stays in place until it's renegotiated/expires right?

The E.O. was dated 11/21/21 and is fully in effect - I have a copy. The E.O. is a bit redundant, as the Services Contract Act requires worker retention (my understanding, I don't have a full copy) - USDOL Wage & Hour should be able to help with any disruptions. Any contractor that tries to fire anyone at contract change will get sued - should get sued if they reduce hours. Union contracts stay in effect until another one is negotiated - complete with job protections and wages.

This E.O. is in effect from the moment it was signed - read the E.O., particularly sections 11 and 7. Any non-voluntary reduction in hours will get the contractor sued, period.
