From Government Executive:
Unions at the Social Security Administration reported that the agency’s leadership continues to stall on efforts to reopen contracts negotiated during the Trump administration, three months after President Biden told agencies to do so via executive order and a week after a self-imposed deadline for SSA to review its collective bargaining agreements. ...
In March, the Office of Personnel Management issued guidance on how agencies should implement the order, which instructed agencies to reopen union contracts “as soon as is practicable.”
Later that month, following complaints of slow movement by Social Security Administration leadership to implement Biden’s workforce policies, officials at the agency said it was in the midst of a review of all labor contracts and that officials had asked the unions for their input. The self-imposed deadline for that process was April 23.
But a week after that deadline, the labor groups said they have not seen any new action by SSA leadership to reopen old agreements. ...

Cynical ploy by Saul and his lieutenants to wait for Congress to switch hands in January 2022.
If John Larson is not able to do proper House oversight of SSA, can he find somebody else who will?
Why should anyone be surprised by any of this? And, then, folks somehow wonder why SSA gets such poor reviews by its employees who do all the work.
At this point, I'm sure that no one is more surprised than Andrew Saul himself that he hasn't been removed.
Take with a grain of salt Erich Wagner's "reporting." Especially when it comes to Melissa McIntosh's characterization of really anything.
