FWA Chairman Dougan to House Committee: Non-Strategic Workforce Cuts Hurt Taxpayers
Thursday, May 26, 2011(Federal Workers Alliance)
This morning
William R. Dougan, FWA Chairman and National
President of the National Federation of Federal
Employees, delivered testimony before the House
Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S.
Postal Service, and Labor Policy on the matter
of “Rightsizing the Federal Workforce.”
Testifying on behalf of his union in addition
to nine other FWA members, Dougan defended the
scope and mission of the federal workforce,
emphasizing that the true measure of
government’s size is not the number of
federal employees, as others at the hearing
claimed. The true measure of government is
dollars and cents.
