All the same, some members of management in the Depart ment of Fish and Wildlife have decided to have their own “policy” of not paying per diem to the department’s employes; Rodney Workman, a hat cheryman here, was required as part of his job to drive over 25 miles to another work location and to live for 10 days in a trailer there and be on 24-hour duty. His supervisor’s super visor informed him about the department’s “policy” of not paying per diem.

Carol Helton, a secretary in, the Justice Department’s Support Enforcement Division, here, was told by her super visor, Asst. Attny. Gen. Charles Thompson, that she had “problems here, here and here,” according to OSEA Employe Representative Gordon Webb.

In other words, she would start as a new employe, less the trial service,, of course. Mmmmmmm work for him. Workman also was given a poor score on a promotional merit rating even though he had been working without a position description, a work plan and he had not been given a periodic review in the one and one-half years he had worked at the hatchery.
