keeps his retirement,keeps his JOB, head shake over here

I retired from a large federal agency where I worked in the labor relations field representing management. When someone committed an infraction serious enough to be discipline, the employee had appeal rights to the union, the EEOC complaint process, unemployment compensation, and in case of a veteran, MSPB rights. So, many times in cases in which the infraction was so serious as to warrant termination from employment, the agency had to fight the union and the employee's attorney in the various forums over a year before the person was actually permanently terminated. Union stewards would engage in egregious acts that would not be tolerated by any private industry, but they were protected by the National Labor Relations Board, because somehow those acts where twisted into "protected union activity" and the sole reason for the existence of the NLRB is to protect the unions. Otherwise, the NLRB couldn't justify their own existence. All politicians pander to federal union leadership who in turn support their reelection, mostly to a democratic party position. So no matter what political machine is in place, the system feeds itself in a self preservation cycle.

Nothing to see here. These are not the droids you are looking for.

In the name of integrity in government, this kind of behavior should result in termination without benefits - no matter who they are campaigning for.

He does something wrong and gets 100 free vacation days

with or without pay,....DUH!!

That's IT?!?! Ohhhhh, wait. My mistake. He works for the grubment. Sorry. Go back to your regularly scheduled program of Lies, Obfuscation and Contempt of our Lives.

Politico says "without pay", so this vacation was a
more-spartan-than-average stint. -- j

Karma?
Or possibly a brief moment of honesty at the IRS?

please someone somewhere take his check.

I hope the pay was also suspended so he will remember it better.

Actually, they'll change the suspension to a furlough and he will still receive all the pay he lost during the 100 days.
Hell, he'll probably get a promotion and a raise!

Clearly the criminals are in private industry. Lets get more sterling Government oversight! They never lie, steal, mislead or misuse power.

Usually the suspensions are without pay and that seems to be the case here. I don't know how many people could afford to be 100 days without pay. I know I couldn't. It is a stiff penalty, however, using one's position for political or personal gain, especially in a position of trust, should be a termination offense. Wow, how naive of me at 63. Politicians do that ALL THE TIME!
