Comments:
Yet another attempt to disband the Labor Unions. The "review boards" are made up of DoD appointed members with a vested DoD point of view towards all Agency actions, policies and procedures. The FLRA is excluded, yet the FLRA still good enough to abritrate for the other Government Agencies. This is the "fox guarding the hen house" at it's best. The DoD civilian workforce is now expected to be just like the Armed Services active duty personnel. You can be assigned wherever, whenever, and like it. It's the Unions and bargaining unit employees that have championed for better work practices/procedures, technologies and work place improvement. Salaries are determined by DoD solely, no matter what another Federal worker is being paid that works in the next office or across town. Bonuses for performance pay are funded at the discretion of the DoD Secretary. If he chooses not to fund it, we as the workers are just out of luck/pay. Apparently we would no longer work for the Federal Government, just the DoD, even though the DoD works for the Federal Government. Hmmm, a GOVERNMENT AGENCY that doesn't have to respond to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT concerning it's decisions and practices to almost half it's total workforce? This sounds so "Big Brother" to me.
