Comments concerning - Federal Register: February 14, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 29) Proposed Rules: FR Document 05-2582/NSPS (National Security Personnel System) Page 7597: "Sec. 9901.908 Powers and duties of the Board." Powers will be absolute in favor of management. Since nothing may or may not have precedence, then everything will be de novo by fiat of the board. Also, since the board itself may not block DoD actions it finds incorrect without DoD permission, then there is no independence or power against management misdeeds. "Sec. 9901.910 Management rights." "Management rights are supreme and may not be impeded by any oversight or review. To wit, "However, at its sole, exclusive, and unreviewable discretion, management may provide notice to an exclusive representative of its intention to exercise an authority under paragraph (a) of this section as far in advance as practicable. Further, nothing in paragraph (d) of this section establishes an independent right to bargain or consult." In other words, management can do whatever its wishes, as there is no oversight or review.
