Kennedy Proposes Billion Dollar Federal Pay Reform
President Kennedy urged Congress to enact a three year billion dollar pay raise for white collar federal workers. The reform aims to align federal salaries with nonfederal levels, boosting the white collar payroll by about 10 percent while excluding the highest level officials from the same increases. The plan affects 1,640,000 workers worldwide, with phased raises starting Jan 1 and modeled to retain top executives by adjusting pay scales.
