Comments:
General: Proposed NSPS will undermine the Civil Service & hurt DOD employees. Section: 9901-301-9901-373. Employees in DoD should continue to receive the same annual pay adjustments that other GS/FWS workers receive. Section: 4401-401-9901-409 DOD employees should be able to appeal any performance rating to an independent grievance and arbitration process like they do now. Section: 9902-6012-9901-611 DoD should not change RIF rules which give balanced credit to performance and employees valuable years of committed service to DOD. Section: 9901-701-9901-810. An indepents body review a major suspension as termination be allowed to alter proposed penalty if they deem it unreasonable. Section: 9901.901-9901-929. The labor management law that has governed the employees right to organize and engage in collective bargaining has worked well since 1978. There is no reason to take away most of the collective bargaining rights or grievance rights. DoD should not create a company dominated dispute board. Any dispute board must be jointly selected by managment and the union.
