Amendment to Privatize Department of Defense Jobs

May. 18, 2012 | H.Amdt. 1112 to H.R. 4310
Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) offered an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill that would make it easier to privatize Defense Department work and services now conducted by civilian DOD employees, and make it more difficult to return contracted work and services to the DOD civilian workforce. The amendment was rejected.

This is Bad for working people.
