I’d also like to add that she worked her butt off and deserves every benefit she receives in her retirement.

Very low percentage, was she in management? Contracting totally different, they get higher wages so federal government don’t have pay benefits, the contractor responsible. I had contractor working with me, knew very little about the job and got paid more than me, but I was responsible for the work, time, and his training. By the time I actually got him trained and somewhat productive the contract ended. So, yes there low percentage that can’t unionize or join. Union’s does not like contracting it limited their base.
