Comments:
Subpart I Labor-Management Relations-9901.901 to 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 compelling reason to take away most of the collective bargaining rights or grievance rights. DoD should not create a "company dominated disput board." Any dispute board must be "jointly selected" by management and the Union. Subpart C Pay, Sections 9901.301 to 9901.373 The employees in DoD should continue to receive the same annual pay across-the-board adjustment that GS/FWS workers receive. The individual pay increase for performance should include guaranteed percentages in the regulations so that employees will understand the pay system and what their pay increase will be depending on their performance. Subpart F Workforce Shaping-9901.6012 to 9901.611 DoD should not change the current layoff/RIF rules which give balanced credit to performance and the employees valuable years of committed service to DoD.
