Until this year, civilian basic pay rates were frozen for three years, and furloughs in 2013 caused some federal employees to take a pay cut.
Union leaders say the 1 percent increase would not be enough to compensate for those sacrifices.
“That recommendation does not even keep up with inflation, which stands at 1.6 percent over the last year,” said Gregory Junemann, president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I AM enjoying it.
