When Del Rio Sector began mandating overtime, management told Local 2366 that all GS-13s would do their part to help in processing. Despite this assurance, there are many GS-13s who haven’t had to process, including SBPAs, SOSes, BPA-Ps, and WCs.
There are certainly some GS-13s and above who have helped, but they are usually the ones who we see willing to go above and beyond to help in the field on a regular basis.
While the agency has no obligation to negotiate with the union regarding what non-bargaining employees do, this is certainly not a good look for management.
