Comments:
The Defense Department has issued new personnel rules that will eliminate the General Schedule and FWS, allow bad managers to abuse and intimidate workers, and make your valuable years of committed service worth virtually nothing in the event of a layoff. These work rules are known as the National Security Personnel System (NSPS). Whether you are a DoD employee or work in another government agency, you need to learn about NSPS and comment now. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) publicly stated that it will seek legislation to apply these rules to all agencies. DoD has invited anyone to comment. Please do so – your job and pay depend on it. NSPS will weaken unions and the rights gained through union contracts, such as flex days, advance notice of work schedules, and overtime rotations. If an employee is disciplined by a supervisor, there will be very little chance of overturning the punishment.
