On January 28, President Bush signed into law the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, including strong language to curb the National Security Personnel System's attacks on workers' rights and protections.With the passage of the law, FEA and the other members of the United DoD Workers Coalition have succeeded in protecting our members against efforts to strip you of your rights to collectively bargain and appeal adverse actions to a neutral body for review, among other negative actions NSPS would have implemented.
FEA congratulates and thanks its members -- and federal employees, their families, and supporters everywhere -- for your hard work the past 5 years to fight back this threat to public employees' basic rights and workplace dignity.
