A recent posting by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) on the state of its contract negotiations with the Social Security Administration:
In recent months, the agency urged AFGE to agree to use small teams of management and union negotiators to address a variety of unresolved issues, so that we could narrow our differences and make progress in contract bargain-ng. Initially we had success, reaching agreement on almost everything in Article 33 (Temporary, Probationary, Part-Time Permanent and Seasonal Employees) through this small team approach.
However, progress came to a screeching halt in July when management walked away from a joint effort to reach agreement on a set of AFGE-proposed appendices to the Official Travel Article (Article 8).
