As a bargaining unit Fed. employee at that time we were excited that Colleen Kelley had requested to meet with President Bush. Then like a slap in the face, the bargaining unit employees were informed her repeated request were denied. I sadly witnessed first hand over the years, the spirit and enthusiam of productive employees broken as the result of the horrible and unfair treatment of employees. I have since retired, (forced into early retirement), I might add, however, NTEU still represents rights and benefits of all Federal retiree's. I feel my spirit mending. Thank you Colleen, and thank you President Obama. Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:50:41 +0000 http://change.gov/open_government/entry/national_treasury_employees_union1/#IDComment12757972
