Summary: The commenter opposes the proposed changes to employee discipline, arguing that the new provisions on PIPs, settlements, and voluntary abandonment are arbitrary and could lead to discrimination. They advocate for maintaining existing case law guidelines and ensuring civil servants have union representation and adequate time to respond to disciplinary actions.
I oppose the administration’s efforts to make employee discipline less fair.
Forty-five years of case law provide employees and management alike with flexible and workable guidelines on employee discipline.
Civil servants deserve a transparent and fair process when facing discipline, and to ensure that, they must have union representation and enough time to respond.
The proposed provisions on PIPs, settlements, and voluntary abandonment are arbitrary, and invite discrimination.
