Federal employee pay has been a target in cost-cutting efforts by the President and Congress, aided by a public perception of feds as overpaid "fat cats." Claims about public vs. private pay have swung widely - from the Federal Salary Council's data that shows feds are paid 24 percent less than the private sector, to a Cato Institute report that says feds are paid double the private sector. What's the reality? Federal News Radio brings you interviews and analysis on the federal pay debate.
What's next for feds?

Your Turn with Mike Causey
Is Congress going to extend the pay freeze? Will feds have to pay more for and get
less in retirement benefits? What about a new round of buyouts in the postal
service? Are there furloughs in the wind? And what about those GSA bonuses?
Those questions will be answered on today's program when host Mike Causey is joined
by Joseph A. Beaudoin, president of the National
Active and Retired Federal Employees, and Stephen Losey and Sean Reilly of the
Federal Times.
