Comments:
Detailed comments attached. Summary comments: - When did Civil Service employees become a threat to national security? - Every aspect of NSPS may be change "at the sole and exclusive discretion of the Secretary of Defense". This makes the entire system too political. - Proposed pay system is subject to favoritism, nepotism and cronyism. - Current bargaining system has worked well for management and labor for years. - DoD empoloyees are doing an outstanding job of supporting our national defense. - The proposed NSPS requlations are not consistent wit the intent of the law that was enacted by Congress. - DoD ignored Congress and Labor in violation of law while developing NSPS. - Civilian employees did not join the military and should not be deployed. - Removing seniority from the equation will result in the loss of decades of experience and dedication.
