Federal Sector "Pay-for-Performance"

Kevin Drum, from Washington Monthly, has an interesting blog entry about the Bush Administration's attempts to weaken federal employee unions. The new work rules for DHS employees will place restrictions on their collective bargaining rights and will tie employees' compensation and promotions to performance evaluations.

Look for AFGE, NTEU and other unions to file a lawsuit to stop these regulations from taking effect and see AFGE's website for more information about how the president's plan affects unions in the public sector.
