Complaints made by Federal employees about the Federal Wage System were investigated. The complaints concerned the annual adjustments to wages of many blue-collar workers. The investigation disclosed that the wage system was being used legally in all of the cases. In one case, better labor and management cooperation were needed at the local level. In another case, better communication would have improved data collection. The system needed better assurance that the surveys were determining the prevailing wage rates. Many companies refused to participate in the surveys, but this problem could be improved with better communication and increased solicitation. Alternative sources of information should be found to the out-of-date State unemployment records currently in use. The system lacked specific statistical standards to indicate the confidence of the prevailing rate, as determined by the wage surveys.
Wages for Federal Blue-Collar Employees Are Being Determined According to the Law, but Improvements Are Needed
One out of every six Federal civilian employees works in a blue-collar job. Even though the nearly 350,000 blue-collar employees are an important part of the Government's workforce, they are being displaced at a rate far greater that their white-collar coworkers. In FY 1991 alone, blue-collar employees accounted for 71 percent of the 5,753 employees who were separated from their Civil Service jobs and future cutbacks are expected to continue to disproportionately affect this workforce. Although there are many similarities, Federal blue-collar employees differ substantially from their white-collar coworkers in many ways. These differences must be considered by policymakers and managers when setting personnel policies.
