First, let me say that you just have to be really skeptical about a 
press-release like this with few details and no links to see what the 
details of the actual policy are.   I know that my internal "spin-
sensors" went off with blinking lights when reading this, so I would 
definitely like to know the *rest* of the story, or at least the 
other side of it.  This is the same organization, after all, that 
opposed a Republican plan in the Senate to extend the 
same "flexitime" rules enjoyed by federal employees to private-sector 
employees the day it was introduced.  Sometimes I think that if Bush 
supported implementation of the Federal Employee's Pay Comparability 
Act (FEPCA - which would produce roughly a 20% raise for Feds) that 
they would still find a way to oppose it, just because it was Bush 
doing the proposing...

I am sure that there are.   I actually periodically come across 
reports (maybe a BLS report?) that tracks the number of part-time 
workers that would prefer to have full-time work.
