Description
Cummings, Chief Judge. This class action lawsuit is another in the series of cases challenging Congressional efforts in the late 1970's and early 1980's to brake the inflationary economy by means of limitations on salary increases authorized for federal employees. See, e.g., United States v. Will. 449 U.S. 200, 66 L. Ed. 2d 392, 101 S. Ct. 471; Foley v. Carter, 526 F. Supp. 980 (D.D.C. 1981). The plaintiff class is composed of 5,000-6,000 executive level federal employees who are members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) established in 5 U.S.C. §Â§ 3131-3136 (1982).1 The named plaintiffs are 21 Regional Directors of the National Labor Relations Board. They complain that salary limitations enacted by Congress in Fiscal Years (FY) 1979, 1980, and 1981 should not have been applied to limit their salaries, because the SES pay system, established in 5 U.S.C. § 5382 (1982),2 superseded the limitations, and the limitations by their own terms did not apply to SES members.
