Comments:

The Unions served as a means for checks and balances between Employees with Supervisory duties and Employees without Supervisory duties. This implementation by DoD completely eliminates any checks that the Unions had to ensure that all Employees are treated fairly and justly. Without checks and balances, there is no limit to what and Employee can be forced to do (such as break the law, violate regulations, etc.) to save his/her job. The old system allowed him/her the flexibility to stand his/her ground to bring the issue out into the open.
