More Union Reaction
NTEU weighs in, and it looks like they may be pushing a bit harder on pay. From their press release:
“We understand that these are tough times, but we are very concerned about breaking the historic linkage of civilian and military pay parity,” said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
“We want to find out why these pay raise numbers came out the way they did,” the NTEU leader further stated, “and what went into the analysis regarding pay parity. We also want to know what other proposals the administration will be pursuing this year that will affect federal workers.” She added that military and federal civilian employees work side by side in support of our nation’s security.
“I am also interested in starting a broader discussion with the White House on federal pay comparability with the private sector and the larger issues around federal pay that have historically been put on hold,” Kelley said.
