Re Hiring of Annuitants

Count me as a union member and employee rep who disagrees with the union opposition to rehiring some retirees. While I agree there should be a term limit, I would think that up to five years as opposed to 3180 hours would be smarter. These folks left with a wealth of corporate knowledge that is still relevant in today's workplace, member or not. When the smoke clears this is STILL about getting work done for the American taxpayer who employs us. That is my bottom line!
Bill to Allow Rehiring of Federal Employees

Wrong again Ralph. AFGE represents retired Federal Employees and many of those who were members continue their membership into retirement. What we are looking for is a level playing field for current and retired employees in filling positions.

If the government needs our help, we (retirees) should not be penalized for providing the assistance as needed.

Guess management did not properly prepare for the alleged mass of retirements by the baby boomers. Therefore, they must rehire retirees until the new people hired are off and running. it takes years for them to be able to do the job properly.
Bargaining Unit Status

I think unions would be inclined to offer more support if the retired employees who are brought back will become members of a bargaining unit if they were otherwise in a unit. Presently, the unit descriptions probably don't address these employes one way or the other. This could create many "questions concerning representation" throughout the government. That would be costly to clear up unit by unit.

Hiring Fed Retirees as Contractors

Whether this bill passes or not, really doesn't matter because federal retirees are hired back as contractors with no limitations on work hours. In other words, managers already have complete discretion to hire annuitants of their choice as a contractor, without any regard to veterans preference, or any objective, competitive criteria. This is a common practice at my agency.

The stupidity of these unions has to stop, no wonder why their membership is dwindling.
I bet they feel really proud of themselves or they are just trying to hope for more dues paying members. Well even when I was eligible to join I realized how out of touch these unions were/are with their base.
I vote NO to unions and find their leadership is something lower than the junk on the bottom of my shoes.

Please, give me a break. Retired military can go to the work for the Feds, no penalty.
