Comments on Proposed NSPS Regulations – RIN 3206-AK76/0790/AH82

To: Whom it may concern,

As a Federal employee of the Department of Defense, I am extremely concerned that our congress has empowered the Secretary of Defense in a manner which allows him to be a dictator under the disguise of national security. The imposition of NSPS has created a system, by which, takes the rights of employees and their unions to effectively represent labor issues. This need for “flexibility” has been in effect for many years without adversely impacting the Department of Defense. Unions and federal employees have never impeded DoD in any efforts concerning national security

Under NSPS employees will have their constitutional right to due process eliminated. Rights to appeal all revert back to the Secretary of Defense final decision. Decisions favoring the employee will be subjected to the review of the NSPS Labor Relations Board appointed by none other than, (you guessed it) the Secretary of Defense. It is improbably to conceive that this is a non-biased Board, again denying the rights of federal workers rights to due process. Employees have and continue provided an exemplary work history and it must be recognized that DoD employees are the true components of DOD not just the Secretary of Defense alone.

Sincerely
