Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The agreement struck in Congress earlier this week on the annual defense policy bill may have some big consequences for civilian federal employees. The bill would grant all federal employees up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave. That's a brand new benefit employee groups and lawmakers have been fighting for over the last decade. The defense policy bill also takes a definitive stance on the Trump administration's proposed merger of the Office of Personnel Management with the General Services Administration. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for all the details.
