OMB Employees Seek Work-Life Balance Via Union Vote
The Office of Management and Budget is a small agency that punches way above its weight. Its nose is in everybody’s business, its hand on everyone’s budget. That means the small staff works long hours. Although the employees know that comes with the territory, they also believe a better work-life balance can improve work productivity while enhancing their home life. OMB employees, at least some of them, think a union is the road to better balance. Voting to form a union began Wednesday with more balloting Nov. 1. A union organizing Web site says 243 of 389 employees are eligible to vote.
