Will basic civil service protections be preserved – such as whistleblower protections, equal access, prohibition against favoritism, veterans preference?
• Yes. NSPS fully affirms your core civil service protections such as merit system principles, veterans’ preference, benefits (including retirement, health, life, etc), leave benefits, allowable expenses, and due process. It also protects whistleblowers from discrimination and retaliation and preserves your rights to organize and bargain collectively.
