Labor Relations-As an excepted employee in the Air National Guard we presently have the Adjuntant General who is a State APPOINTED employee by the governor as our last appeal in adverse actions.As a condition of employment we must be in the Guard i:e[manditory]We presently live in a management by threat stucture since we have a retention board after 20 years of military service.If a part-time commander wants to remove you all they have to do is non-retain you and 30 days later you lose your civlian position.We do not have protection and 3rd party appeals rights since you are removed militarily not through civil service.We fall under the Technician Act of 1968 Title 32 l we receive benefits under civil service rules but not protections in administration appeals.We know what happens when you give bad management power. We do not have national consultation and are forced to wear a military uniform while in cilvilan status to remind us who is in charge and we are required to salute and play airman in cilivian status without the benefits and pay of the military-You should survey the civilian employees in the Army and Air National Guard, not the National Guard Association of the United States which is the Guard lobby for management.
