Comments:
Under section 9901.351, Pay administration and Performance Management, the mere fact that the ability to gain pay raises are only at the mercy of the employees manager, again replacing a system that has been effective. This as other issues of NSPS will promote the "good ole boy" system opening the gates for discrimination, cronyism and nepotism. Fair and equitable treatment will no longer exist dramatically effecting fair practices for women and minorities. As a Federal employee of the DoD for the last 34 years, I am extremely concerned that our congress has empowered the Secretary of Defense in a manner that allows him to be a dictator under the disguise of national security. The imposition of NSPS has created a system, by which, takes the rights of employees and their unions to effectively represent labor issues. This need for "flexibility has been in effect for many years without adversely impacting the DoD. Unions and federal employees have never impeded DoD in any efforts concerning national security.
