4. Just contacted the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professional and spoke to a Mr. Mark Crawford, VP of Region 1 which includes the Local 131 that GRC employees are under. Mr. Crawford will not release a Seniority List (just dates) nor number of full-time and part-time personnel under their 2 different health plans. These data is crucial for ensuring that these benefits are properly budgeted for.

Answer: The Government cannot control what information the Local 31 Union will release to prospective offerors. The Government will not comment on the number of full or part time employees currently employed under contract or to the seniority of the current employees.

Historically, the split between the number of full and part time employees has ranged from 65-75% full time. In terms of seniority, historically 20-25% has had over 10 years of experience.
