Comments:

Serious concerns: 1) Employees rights to Union representation is greatly deminished. 2) The ineviatable horror of supervisor/employee basis. 3) An employee's right NOT to be deployed anywhere, let alone in to a hostile environment. 4) A supervisor's ability to hire virtually anyone they want to. 5) Deminshed lack of employee trust. 6) Civilian employees are expected to operate under the same conditions as military members, however, they are not equally compensated for having done so. 6) Will there be civilian and military pay parity? 7) How does an employee who feels that he/she is being rated unfairly fight the proposed NSPS? 8) NSPS takes the federal civilian performance, hiring, and pay systems backwards. 9) NSPS is structurally weak and will breed in house agency sparing among employees and management. 10) BOTTOM LINE - NSPS just as A-76 is a major blow to the civilian population and will set the federal civilian employment system back tremendously.
