Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES




Comparison Of The U.S. Government Printing

Office's Pay And Classification System. To

Other Federal And Private Sector Systems


GAO reviewed the compensation of Government
Printing Office (GPO) employees who collectively
bargain and found that they receive higher wages
than do printing and lithographic employees at other
Federal agencies or in private sector firms in the
Washington,D.C. ,area. This report identifies a number
of factors that account for the wage differences,
including the fact that GPO wages have not been
affected by pay caps imposed on Federal employees
paid under the General Schedule and Federal Wage
System.

Management and labor have been unable to agree on
wages since 1979, and the Congressional Joint
Committee on Printing has had to make final
settlements. GAO believes that a joint labor/
management task force should be established to
consider new pay practices for GPO. GAO offers two
options: adopting different collective bargaining
methods used by other Federal agencies and bringing
GPO under other existing Federal pay systems.
