Unions join forces to fight NSPS

President Gordon Taxer and Vice-President Patti Lee joined brothers and sisters from IFPTE Locals 1, 3, 4, 86, and 121 as well as other unions and staff and leadership of the International to take our message to Congress in January. Our message, of course is that NSPS takes away employees’ rights at work and silences our voice. All we talked to agreed that, in its implementation, DoD has overreached its authority and that our fight is necessary to assure that any system be a fair one.

DoD’s Attack on Federal Workers (NSPS)

1. DOD implementing issuances have the ability to override “ANY” subject matter previously negotiated and agreed to by management and the Union.
2. The Secretary of Defense will unilaterally choose the Labor Relations Board.
3. The proposed RIF process will give organizations the ability to circumvent Veteran’s Preference protections.
4. The DOD has not been forthright in the true cost of implementing NSPS. 5. Local management and organizations can do away with the congressionally approved yearly pay raise, through their pay banding rules.
