Working for the Feds is weird because bean counters are always trying to screw every employee for a few bucks because across the entire work force it turns into mega-bucks. When I was in government old timers told me a story of when OPM or whatever realized that they were paying salary wrong. They took your salary and paid you in 26 bi-weekly increments. Someone realized that by doing that you were being paid for 365 days across only 364 days. So they went to factoring that into to each paycheck.
They did something like that, but which was wrong, our union sued and years later I got the big bucks!

I like that you were in a union and took the money. I would think you would have had to have opted out or something for ideological reasons.
