That is great to talk to someone who enjoys doing their job in Civil Service. I can remember when the pay was a mismash from the clinton years as well.

As for the AFGE -- what I think of them is not fit to print!

Note: The DemocRATs who held up the budget will never get the blame from the AFGE or any other union of Federal workers! It really disgusts me to have Federal employees that spend their whole time on union business getting paid their salary by the Federal Government. The only Civil Service that I encounted when I worked for the AF that were worthless were active members of AFGE. They spent more time getting out of work then it would have taken to get the job done. You could count on them for absolutely nothing!

I never joined the Union...waste of money. I did join FLEOA (Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association)...mostly for the legal protection. You always worry about having to shoot someone in the line of duty, then having your family lose the house to some shyster lawyer. They charge $95 a year, a good investment. Over the years I've seen some real crap go on. In the 80's we busted a bunch of Quantico Commissary Employees for stealing truckloads of product. After they got out of jail they petitioned and got their WG-7 jobs back, I was shocked. They still work on base. The ones that really used to get me were the Department Of Labor claims...faking disability. It gives truely disabled employees a bad rap.
