March 14, 2005 DoD NSPS Comments , DoD NSPS Comments: My name is I work at Tobyhanna Army Depot in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I have a few comments to share concerning the proposed NSPS. I am worried that my Union will be weakened. I am a firm believer in an employee having the right to a strong Union, like the one we have here at the Depot. If NSPS were to weaken our Union, I am concerned that I may be stripped of my right to Union representation in the case I was unfairly disciplined. I am also concerned with the security of work conditions and practices here at Tobyhanna. Right now, my local 1647 AFGE Union fights for the best possible conditions for all Depot workers. I would be extremely upset if this did not continue. I am also concerned about the security of my wages. Under the current system, I know that I will receive a fair pay and time-in-grade step increases. If my supervisor were to determine my pay, there is a chance I might be denied of a deserved pay increase. I would like it to be known that a candidates stance on NSPS will weigh heavily upon my decision on election day. Sincerely,
