Five federal management associations have joined to form
the Government Managers Coalition to collectively
advocate for good government solutions.
The newly formed GMC issued a statement saying it was
currently working with lawmakers to provide for compensation
for workers who do not abuse FERS sick leave, mandatory
supervisor training and re-training, clarity on the status
and treatment of managers when subordinates file equal
opportunity complaints, and an extension of the probationary
period for most new employees.
The associations are the Federal Aviation Administration
Managers Association, the Federal Managers Association,
the National Council of Social Security Management
Associations, the Professional Managers Association,
and the Senior Executives Association, which together
represent close to 200,000 federal supervisors, managers,
and executives
“Our organizations have worked together informally on
many issues in the past, but this coalition will give us
a chance to endorse solutions that will have a significant
impact on the effectiveness of our federal government,”
William Bransford, SEA general counsel said.
