“Official time” is when an employee who is a union rep gets to sit on his butt up to 40 hours a week doing “union business” but not his job, all while getting paid by Uncle Sugar.

The union at the SSA should look at the reforms at the VA to see what’s coming down the tracks.

Government employee unions should not even be legal.
Even FDR thought so.

“but SSA managers walked away from the talks after just three days.”

I wouldn’t have given them three hours.

“Require the union to pay for their own travel and expenses while bargaining and for monthly joint meetings with management.”

The horror.....

“AFSCME if I care”

I call them ABSCAM! Because they are the biggest scam in the country today.

All this ‘office’ in an office started when some whiz kid decided that United Way deserved a full time rep and an office in agencies, saying that it would save time and money to have that so the charity could be on site and save money on office space and mailings etc etc.

Next thing you know the union rep has his own office which adds insult to injury as WE are paying salaries to Govt Employees and then paying space to people who will ‘organize’ (Isn’t that an oxymoron, ORGANIZED GOVERNMENT) while OUR EMPLOYEES are on the clock in spaces that WE are paying for..

Give ‘em and inch and they will steal the whole ruler...

Get your own offices and meet with your members on their time, not the Government’s time.

Needs more labor management consultant lawyers to get it done faster. That's a start, though. For too long, government employees have had too much time and money for controlling the government against the interests of all other Americans. Here's some old news.

National Review ^ | 02/03/2011 | Iain Murray
"...nearly 40 million Americans employed in some way by government."

There's also the pork (federal funding) for the local commies who have everyone duped into believing that they're conservatives. Old news again, as accessed long ago,...

[That's also why I'm against the Article V constitutional convention thing. Those people have enormous lobbies and already control state assemblies too much. They don't need to be choosing our senators for us.]

What is “Official time?””””

I would call it “OFFICE TIME” in the private business world.

It has become very difficult for employers to keep persons working ONLY on the job they were hired to do. Entitlement is a big problem in the work place. I have a neighbor who quit his long time job over the 2 19 y/o’s who refused to park their cell phones & whom he caught playing ‘Hacky Sack’ in the parking lot over & over. Management wouldn’t take care of it, so he quit. That location closed about a year later. I can only guess that my neighbor was the ONLY glue holding it together. His new company has drawn many of his prior customers—following a person who knows how to do the job.

I guess the federal “workers” that are paid over a 100 grand a year to post stuff on the bulletin boards like “May is Pride Month” will have to just surf the internet full time.

As soon as they boot up their computer and log in, they are “on the clock”.
