<p>While the day-to-day work of federal employees is determined by their agencies, key decisions on federal pay, return to office policies, budgets, retirement and health benefits – and more – are made at government-wide levels by OPM, OMB, and/or politically-motivated legislators and administrations. </p><p>With multiple actors and complex policies, it’s often difficult for even the savviest of federal employees and retirees to make heads from tails. Join longtime federal community advocate Jessica Klement and her guests as they cut through the noise and provide you with the information you need to understand how emerging policies will affect you – or not – and make informed decisions about your future.</p>
Steve Lenkart, Executive Director of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) joins Jessica to talk about the most important issues facing union members today, including an overview of the role federal unions play in the federal community and the work NFFE members carry out every day, often without the general public noticing.
In this hyper-partisan environment and general chaos on Capitol Hill, Jessica and Steve also discuss recent attempts over the years to politicize the federal workforce, and the detrimental effect such a move would have on the services the American people rely on.
