The long wait for this back pay has finally concluded with a decision that validates the rights of our faculty and staff. I appreciate the patience you maintained while we pursued this resolution through the proper channels. We will keep a close eye on the distribution process to ensure the …

This petition is written in support of the Faculty and Staff at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center at the Presidio of Monterey regarding their unpaid "locality back pay" from January 2001 to July 2017.
Monterey was included in the San Francisco Locality Pay Area in January 2001. Unfortunately, the faculty and staff at DLIFLC were deprived of their locality pay. After many years of relentless efforts, faculty and staff at DLIFLC were successful in receiving their locality pay last year. However, efforts to convince the higher echelons at DLIFLC to redeem the back pay has remained fruitless.
We, the undersigned faculty and staff at DLIFLC, hereby, request the honorable Dianne Feinstein, the honorable Kamala Harris, the Office of Special Counsel, and the Merit Systems Protection Board to take the necessary actions in order for the dedicated faculty and staff at DLIFLC to obtain what they are legally entitled to.

This would be very helpful to all of us if this would be possible. California is nearly impossible to buy a house or even rent a decent sized apartment in. A back pay would provide for the years of living under insane costs of living with an inaccurate locality pay.
It is absolute necessary for moral reasons that the government to pay back the locality during this period of time, especially, when only DLI FPS members were discriminatively singled out not to get the locality pay in the region
I totally support this petition, for current employees, and for those who retired or moved to other jobs. Anyone who worked for the DLI from 2001 to 2017 should be able to receive locality backpay. Fairness and equality in wages is one of basic standards expected of our government.
We the people demand justice and justice for all. I worked at POM for five years. I started in 2009 with $1100 biweekly paychecks and $900 studio apartment rent, yet I haven't been able to pay back the money that I borrowed from my parents to cover my day-to-day expenses while I was living in Monterey.
I support this fully. DLI employees weren't paid fairly one year and then 20% behind the next ; the gap in pay built up over time. Also, the pay gap was first acknowledged several years before it was approved - DoD knew the problem existed.
One of the reasons I left my tenured position at DLI because of low pay & poor management practices. I fully support this petition.

The faculty and staff of DLIFLC deserve this. If other federal employees in the same area got the full locality pay they were due since 2001, why not the faculty of DLI? This must be corrected.
