Amendment to Review Privatization of Department of Defense Jobs

May. 25, 2011 | H.Amdt. 308 to H.R. 1540
An amendment to the bill from Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) would maintain a requirement that the Defense Department conduct annual reviews of private contracts, the number of contracted-out jobs and the performance of the contractors. Republicans, pushing for further privatization of government services wanted to eliminate the reviews.

This is Good for working people.
