The federal workforce has been without a wage increase for more than two years. The administration is now halting payments to the G fund within the federal Thrift Savings Plan as a result of reaching the federal government's debt limit.
Federal employees are, once again, being singled out for disparate treatment as a result of this decision to stop funding our future retirement funds.
We are calling on the administration to halt this practice of singling out the federal workforce to finance the federal government's funding deficit solely because our benefits are easily accessible to the U.S. Treasury as a source of funds and, as a group, federal workers are an easy target for criticism.
