Mid-Atlantic Area Exchange Pay Conversion

An investigation was undertaken of claims by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) 2nd District that the Mid-Atlantic Area Exchange, Army and Air Force Exchange Service, did not properly pay its employees at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey, on implementing a new pay system. The AFGE was referring to provisions of Public Law 92-392, which placed under a new federal wage system all federal nonappropriated fund employees considered to be "prevailing rate employees" (those in a craft or trade or in a manual labor occupation).
