    Those of us who have gone to NSPS will not receive the same pay as someone new coming on board, since our salaries were adjusted for increase, but someone just coming on board will get a higher pay. Fair I don't believe so. GAO really needs to evaluate this system.

    In your article, I take exception to the following comment: "...The move comes more than a month after the rest of the federal workforce saw across-the-board and locality-based increases in their paychecks..." Check the facts. Not all federal employees received an across the board pay increase. Many (those under NSPS) only received half of the across-the-board increase. The other half went into the performance pay pool. In 2009, all of the across-the-board pay increase goes into the performance pay pool - nothing will be automatic - thanks to the Secretary of Defense. Federal employees need to be aware of this, and, there obviously will not be pay parity between the GAO employees and the rest of the federal civilian workforce.

    Does this include all analyst federal government wide with a title of analyst or specific analyst. For instance I am a Work Order Analyst on a Army base.

    This article doesn't tell the whole story! The argument that GAO employees' are somehow underpaid as compared to General Services employees can only be understood if you look at the pay schedules - does a GS-12 make the same (or more) than a comparable position under the GAO pay schedule?

    I second that emotion, Wise Old Owl.

    Thank God for labor unions. The guy who wants an NSPS style system is out of his mind.
