Improving the Pay Determination Process for Federal Blue-Collar Employees
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
Bargaining power of federal employee organizations is deceptively potent in the determination of wage and fringe benefits. Both blue and white collar compensation is arrived at through a system in which federal labor unions have broad consultation rights. Blue collar pay is set under the Coordinated Federal Wage System (CFWS). At virtually every level of wage determination labor organizations participate in the decision-making process. 'White collar' pay is set under the authority of the Federal Pay Comparability Act of 1970 (FPCA). The two main features of the FPCA are extensive consultation with management and semi-automatic pay increases. The net result is that both the CFWS and FPCA are a very effective substitute for traditional wage bargaining. The pay gains under the FPCA presently are translated into salary increases for the military. (Modified author abstract).
