Comments:
As a government worker of 15 years, I don't like the idea of a pay system that doesn't explain what my pay band will be. There are examples given, but no actuals. And a system that lessens my representation by the Union can't be good for me, the worker. I don't like the broad expanse of reductions in pay band. There are no definite, explicit rules written that I may even know how this could come about at my grade level. This system has only been tried at the supervisory levels, I don't trust what it will mean to the lower grade levels. A system for shining stars only usually burns out quickly and fades fast, encourages untruthfullness. How can any worker ok a system where they can't figure out how much money they will be making prior to the system being in place? I don't think it's wise to implement a system that few of the workers trust. This isn't the system I signed on for, and I resent being steam rolled into it. In particular, the same problems exist, but now the supervisors can really give their friends, and relatives bigger and better raises. If there were an impartial system in place in regarding raises and reduction's that would be different, but this system strips what little impartiality exists.
