Comments:
In a time where our Country is at a heightened state of promoting democracy, it is ironic that the proposed NSPS system has in no way invited the participation of the Unions or its members and is intent on installing a system that actually promotes the discrimination of aged employees. An employee, under the new system supposedly has the right to representation but the NSPS system will allow management to implement personnel actions first and maybe, talk later. This system design is in my opinion, a very dangerous step. It will allow managers to spend our tax dollars by hiring and promoting friends and business associates and pay them high salaries without being held accountable for those decisions. A system such as NSPS will not only destroy Team Work but promote a secretive and destructive battle between employees who once worked in concert but must now focus on obtaining those precious pay raise and bonus dollars to support their families before their counterparts get them. There are reasons that the Civil Service work force was set up the way it is today. We are a unique work force of highly trained and dedicated (to our military and country) men and women that was put in place to operate and maintain the bases and the military equipment/hardware so it is operational and reliable for our troops to defend our country. Once you implement a system that focuses on greed and eliminating employee’s rights.... you've lost your edge on your counterparts in the free enterprise world that think nothing of overcharging the Government (you and I, the tax payers) for every piece of equipment ordered and service rendered. An intelligent person would have to ask themselves...If the PEO for NSPS had the interest of us, the civil servants in their best interest in the design of NSPS, and truly invited the Unions (as they claim) to team with them in the development process, would there be a law suit by 10 different Unions representing thousands of civil servants to block NSPS?
