Below is a link to the initial compensation reform proposal by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP officials said the proposal changed last year, but would not provide a copy of the revised plan to representatives of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). The Department of Homeland Security did not provide a copy of this year’s proposal to the NBPC nor did they consult with the NBPC prior to submitting it to Congress for consideration for fiscal year 2013 budget. Although the NBPC has an alternative plan, DHS, CBP, and the U.S. Border Patrol management have consistently refused to consider the alternative.
