Raven you just espoused the falesey with your non-Union arguement. As a federal employee your pay is based on the general scale which is approved by congress. The union has no say in pay raises. Federal employees are held accountable to OPM standards. The union can only ensure supervisory and management personnel are following required processes regarding investigating or carrying out disciplinary action against an employee. If ensuring required standards are followed by management is considered protection, then consider the alternative if the union wasn't there to ensure the process is followed. It's naive to believe you by your self can stand up to a federal agency as an employee. I am a 20 year federal civil servant who has spent time on both sides of management and non-management speaking from experience.
