Mikulski Introduces Pro Federal Employment Amendment

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) has put a pro-federal-employee amendment into the Senate's 2013 financial services funding bill. That bill cleared the Appropriations Committee yesterday.

Mikulski's language would continue a ban on competition between federal agencies and contractors for service work. It would also stop outsourcing unless an agency can prove a cost savings. Plus it would prohibit arbitrary staff cuts by requiring agencies to match work with funds on hand. Mikulski complained that federal employees are the first to take a hit whenever deficit reduction comes up.

She wants to continue a ban on competition for government spending? She won't put a limit on competition for her meals either.

Its talk like this that makes you want to explode.Here's one for you-some Maryland counties are sending their workers on a paid trip to SanDiego next week for a union conference.This is what Mikulski likes to protect.
