Harris/Biden proposed pay bump for federal workers not enough, unions say
'...President Biden wants to raise the pay of civilian federal employees by an average of 2% — and workers say that ain't cutting it. ...Despite touting the nation's economy as strong, Biden's justification for the small pay bump cites a federal law that takes into account national emergencies. That law "authorizes me to implement alternative plans for pay adjustments," Biden wrote, the Post reports, adding: "because of 'national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare,' I view the increases that would otherwise take effect as inappropriate." ...But without Biden's action, the average pay raise would've automatically been over 25.7%, according to the Office of Management and Budget.'
