Highlights

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed allegations made by a professional employee contracted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA had recently recompeted a professional service contract and made the award to a different company. GAO was to determine if the professional employees involved had: (1) received salary and fringe benefits less than those paid by the previous contractor; (2) been subject to wage busting by the new contractor; and (3) lost accrued pension benefits and vesting rights in the previous contractor's pension plan, as a result of the contract changeover. GAO also reviewed the new contractor's policies for providing professional employees' salary increases after the contract was in operation.
