9901.104 How can you state that Title 5 U.S. Code may be waived? Congress made Title 5 and Congress should be the only one to waive anything. 9901.106(ii) We have allways had equal representation of management and labor on any discussion. To load that so that there is a unequal representation of either labor or management shows that there is a "failure to bargin in good faith". But since you are taking away bargining I guess that fits into your methodology. 9901.322 We are under a Wage Fixing Authority, so now you will determine what our wages are. This is unfair as DoD can take us down to minimum wage with a memo! 9901.342 Pay for performance? Do you mean if I hunt and are friends with the boss? This is so subjective. Now if I was making widgets and making 500 a day and one day only made 450 then my performance would be down? You could then cut my pay by 10%. 9901.343 Basic pay cut for unacceptable performance and/or conduct. So if you complain about something that makes you a non team player and so your conduct isn't good and thats a 10% cut. In other words you want to surroud yourselves with "yes" people. So much for diverse opinions! 9901.361(a) Does this mean that you can take away time and one half if you feel it? Does this mean that Holiday Pay will be removed? Does this mean any one? 9901.515(d) So a temporary can be converted without competition. This will allow the good ole boys to hire thier friends as temps and convert them without advertising? 9901.601 Do you have any idea of the impact this is going to have on the work force? These men and women work for you why treat them like this? 0001.807(c)(1) Does this mean paid absence? (k)(2) Does this mean we can disqualify the agency represenative? (3) Discovery is a basic right to find out what the DoD is using against the party. Without discovery how can one defend oneself. I hope the prosecuting attorney dosn't do that as the State can hide any evidence it wants. How would one know if can be secured from another source. The agency can deny anything by saying you can find it somewhere else. Where? (k)(6) How can you say any third party decision is invalid unless the DoD says its ok. 9901.806 (d) How can one appeal an MRO when we don't even know what they are uless you make them up as you go. 9901.808 (d) So if one is sustains an emploee's appeal you can charge them with something else? Is this not double jeopardy? If you chare a person with somethng but fail to charge him/her with something else doesn't this bother you. Find a man innocent of one thing but then charge with with something else? Wow. 9901.905 By doing this you have removed the right to bargin and any agreements are null and void. Sounds like the agreements we made with the Native Americans, don't like it so we nullify it! 9901.907 (a)(1) This board will be with appointed people from the DoD. This removes any third party review and allows the Foxes to guard the hen house. Third party review. You know like Legislative Branch/Executive Branch/Judical Branch. Did we somehow lose our form of Government along the way? 9901.909 (a)(2) What has happened here is to remove FLRA to run elections. I guess the FLRA will have no power to correct bad management decisions. 9901.715 (a) A whole ten days? Why not make it one? Why not one hour? Resonable cause to believe the employee has committed a crime for which imprisonment MAY be: what ever happened to our premise that one is "innocent until proven guilty"? (b) To reply with out being able to face or question your accuser? Hope our criminal system doesn't hear about this! 9901.704(d)(2) and (4) and (iii) If this plan is such a great plan and all will be happier working under this plan then why are these excluded? Why is the head of the DoD not working under these same rules? Interesting?
