Comments:
To whom it may concern I am very unhappy with all of the subjects listed below. Not only am I unhappy, but also I don’t understand them and they are mostly incomplete. But I will send you the most important subjects I am concerned over, Please look these over and have a new public comment when the issues are completed, And if there is no chance of that, they need to make major changes or eliminate what I have listed below. 1. NSPS, as written, would effectively eliminate my Union contract. This means that I will no longer be entitled to fair and equitable treatment or protection under the law. Management will be able to do just about anything they want with overtime, trip selection, hours of work, shift change, holiday pay, environmental pay, safety or any other rights and protections that are currently provided to me by a Union contract. 2. NSPS will institute a new pay system, which consists of pay banding and pay-for-performance. This means that management will decide based on my performance, how much of a pay raise or pay cut I will get. 3. NSPS will give management the right to lay-off, furlough or RIF me as they see fit. Seniority will have no affect on management’s decisions. The only employment protections that would remain in place are those that exist under anti-discrimination law. 4. NSPS will remove whistleblower protection. Therefore, if I report a safety violation or unsafe working condition, management will be able to retaliate against me 5. NSPS will allow the Secretary of Defense to use me as a “deployable civilian workforce”. This means I can be sent anywhere DoD wants to send me. Even into a war zone. Just like active duty military,
