Summary
Government agencies \”release\” employees from their jobs to allow them to engage in political and lobbying activities including recruiting new members, negotiating salary and benefits, attend conferences and meetings, or file grievances while receiving full government pay, benefits and retirement—paid for by taxpayers. Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for public employees to do work for a private organization.
