Most Social Security employees are members of Council 220 of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a labor union. Council 220 has released the June 2009 edition of the National Council Digest, one of its two newsletters. I have never been able to figure out why they need two newsletters.
I read the Union's newsletters with great interest. In Region IX, no one took a step in Union matters without consulting extensively with the regional LR specialists. Generally, there was a high degree of adherence to the Contract and EEO regulations. It looks like that's not true in all regions. In view of what's at stake, that strikes me as very odd. Doing it right may take a little more time, but there's no excuse for keeping bad records of time and attendance, and the like.
