GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently

people are aware that federal law bars discrimination on the job due to gender,
race and religion, but they often don’t realize that it also covers current and
former members of the military as well. With fewer Americans serving in the
military today than in past decades, this kind of discrimination can be subtle,
taking the form of assumptions that civilians make about military life and
service. That could come from recruiters who ignore relevant job experience —
like leading a caravan of military vehicles in the desert when hiring for a job
driving a commercial truck. It could come in the form of an innocent-seeming
question during a job interview about whether you suffered from post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) after completing a tour in Afghanistan. Or it could be
the more obvious refusal to reinstate you at your old job after regular service
with the National Guard. Several federal laws aim to prevent those kinds of
situations. Here’s a look at the laws that protect those who come back from
their service as they reenter the workforce.)

White House hasn’t spelled out how it will make these decisions, raising
concerns about arbitrary or selective decisions. (The Washington Post’s seven
White House reporters have all been granted exemptions). The White House last
year revoked the hard pass of CNN reporter Jim Acosta after Acosta engaged in a
heated exchange with Trump during a White House news briefing. After a brief
legal fight, a federal court ordered the White House to restore Acosta’s
access. The court said Acosta’s due-process rights had been violated because
the White House had never established rules and procedures for revoking a
credential. But Sanders said the new policy was unrelated to Acosta’s case.
Acosta continues to hold a hard pass. In an opinion piece published Wednesday,
Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that he was denied a hard pass, although the
paper’s reporters who cover the White House were all granted exemptions. “The
White House press office granted exceptions to the [others], but not to me,” he
wrote. “I strongly suspect it’s because I’m a Trump critic. The move is
perfectly in line with Trump’s banning of certain news organizations, including
The Post, from his campaign events, and his threats to revoke White House
credentials of journalists he doesn’t like.” The White House Correspondents’
Association, which represents journalists on access issues, was consulted about
the new policy, according to Sanders. The organization’s president, Olivier
Knox, declined to comment.)
