Comments:
After almost working 29 years in the Shipyard, it appears that there will not be much to protect an employee from the items listed below. I think it is unfair to establish a "fear factor" in our place of employment. We hired in under a set of rules and regulations, and while it is understandable that changes will be made, this is an "extreme makeover", and I don't believe the results will benefit anyone other than management. - End civil service protections. - End automatic grade or step increases (Management could decide who gets raises in a way similar to that used for bonus decisions.). - End seniority rules on layoffs and reductions-in-force. - Allow management to change work hours and deploy civilians at will. - Cancel big portions of existing collective bargaining agreements (Local unions will be almost powerless to correct inequities such as pay by cronyism without resorting to costly lawsuits.). - End meaningful collective bargaining.
