Increasing employee contributions to the federal pension system, projected to save $44 billion over a decade.

Eliminating supplemental pensions for retirees aged 57 to 62.

Basing pensions on the final five years of service, rather than the last three, reducing payouts.

Transitioning federal health insurance to a voucher model.-WHAT IS THIS?

Unions and collective bargaining
Efforts to weaken federal unions are central to the administration’s goals. A memo circulated by the conservative group Americans for Tax Reform outlines plans to limit collective bargaining rights, citing a 1978 law allowing exclusions for “national security concerns.”

Recommendations include restricting union protections at agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Defense Department.

Every employee would get a flat amount towards insurance instead of covering a percentage of whatever you choose the way it is now. Not sure if they would cover more for family plans or not.

The Presidential Actions page is still blank, but the splash page video is a sight to behold.

These are proposals for the reconciliation bill, not EOs.

FFS, you dcum fools really don't understand that there could be a lot more at stake here than you having to go downtown and work in something other than your pajamas...

Did you see that bizarre thing about vouchers for fed health insurance that makes no sense but sure as hell isn't good? Who knows what dreams may come...

You are right, and this is starting to happen with private companies. Look up “ICHRAs”. You get a flat dollar amount, go onto the exchange and pick whatever works for you. Companies that aren’t rotten to the core will kick in more for family coverage. Pricing is of course dependent on age and who you’re covering.

Still nothing specific, but he is repeating the lie that only 6% of feds work in person.

President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.

Already on the WH website. Where are they getting these numbers?!?!

NYTimes reporting, in summary fashion, that federal worker related EO will “require some agencies to return 4-5 days a week.”

If the summary is correct, they seem to be backing off the strict 5 days everyone back in, perhaps to allow for some of the union CBAs, allowing their appointees to work partially remote, etc..

We will see soon enough

Honestly I’d be fine with 4 days a week in office. 5 days a week would just kill me. I need complete concentration to do my work and I save that sort of work for my telework days. I think most of my colleagues would be okay with 4 days too.

Dh and I are both feds. It would be sweet if we both got vouchers. As it is, I don’t get any credit for not taking my work’s insurance at all.
