Our Voice for You | Message from the Executive Director | PMA Chapters

For more than three decades, PMA has been instrumental in protecting the benefits and quality of work life for managers, management officials and non-bargaining unit employees as well as promoting and ensuring new benefits for members. PMA has been successful in:
- After successfully defeating legislation to change to a high-five based retirement annuity formula rather than the present high-three formula, still trying to protect against further legislation proposing the same thing. The new formula would reduce the average employee's lifetime retirement benefits by 4 percent.
- Fought for and won the same benefits for FERS employees as CSRS related to sick leave upon your retirement.
- Won commitment to limit the number of commitments to five for managers.
- Fighting off proposals to raise the retirement age, abolish retiree cost of living adjustments and fighting for a stabilized and reduced contribution from employees for health benefits.
- Promoting Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act (FEPCA) legislation that would ensure that Administration officials do not disregard the recommendations of the Federal Salary Council.
- Beating back proposals to significantly increase retirement contributions from CSRS and FERS participants.
- Working with agencies to promote fair and equitable treatment of managers in pay banded and pay for performance systems.
