OMB Sequestration Memo Misses Mark Yet Again, Union Says
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox Sr. today issued the following statement in response to a memorandum issued by the Office of Management and Budget on planning for sequestration: OMB has served up a buffet of cuts for agencies to make to the federal workforce in the event that sequestration takes effect beginning March 1. With respect to civilian workers, it seems that everything is on the table: hiring freezes, furloughs, terminating temporary or term employees and encouraging our most seasoned workers to separate or retire.
