The Defense Department has issued new personnel rules
that will eliminate the General Schedule and FWS, allow bad managers to
abuse and intimidate workers, and make your valuable years of committed
service worth virtually nothing in the event of a layoff. These work
rules are known as the National Security Personnel System (NSPS).
Whether you are a DoD employee or work in another government agency, you
need to learn about NSPS and comment now. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) publicly stated that it will seek legislation to apply
these rules to all agencies. DoD has invited anyone to comment. Please
do so – your job and pay depend on it.
NSPS will weaken unions and the rights gained through union contracts,
such as flex days, advance notice of work schedules, and overtime
rotations. If an employee is disciplined by a supervisor, there will be
very little chance of overturning the punishment.
Take action! Speak out!
