A 5.3 percent raise.
That’s number the American Federation for Government Employees is energetically pushing for civilian and military personnel in fiscal 2017 — well over the the 1.6 percent pay raise President Barack Obama will request in his budget proposal.
AFGE acknowledged it’s setting the bar high this year after six consecutive years of pay freezes orsmall bumps in pay.
“We may or may not get a 5.3 [percent raise],” AFGE National President J. David Cox told reporters at the union’s Feb. 8 legislative and grassroots mobilization conference in Washington. “But we are clearly putting on the record that we are owed the 5.3.”

The civilian employees should get a 5.3 percent decrease.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the incompetence, ineptitude, and stupidity observed every day, coupled with the exorbitantly high salaries, I can see where the money is going to waste!
Between affirmative action hires and the longevity increases due to the inability to terminate ineffective oxygen-wasters - it get increasingly worse every time we turn around.
Maybe 25% will quit when Trump gets elected - let's hope it's not 25% of the good ones!
They're kidding, right?
