(February 4, 2011) The NWSEO negotiated GS-8 upgrade for all field office Administrative Support Assistants is in effect. Field office ASAs will see the promotion in the February 13 paycheck. It is retroactive to January 30, 2011, which was the start of the new pay period.
In November, NWSEO secured an agreement that upgrades to a GS -8 every Administrative Support Assistant at field offices around the country. The GS - 8 upgrade includes approximately one million dollars in extra pay and benefits to the lowest paid NWS employees each and every year from now on. “This accomplishment is a prime example of what can be done when people organize for a common goal,” said NWSEO President Dan Sobien. “The ASAs who belong to the union pushed this issue and encouraged others to become involved. It is proof of the power employees have when they organize and speak with one voice.”
