Comments:
The civilian employees work side by side with the military and are not a threat to the US security. There should be no changes to the current pay system, the pay raises should go through and be approved by congress just as they have for many years. That is a fair and just process that eliminates the possibility of discrimination, favoritism and disparate treatment, which is all in the public’s best interest. To leave cost of living increases to first or second level supervisors is inviting discrimination, favoritism and disparate treatment of federal employees. The NSPS rules could cause employees to get no adjustments for the cost of living and never see a step increase because of a supervisors personal feelings towards an employee; these processes are not in the best interest of the American public and do not help fight the war on terror.
