Given the entireity of this bill, would the government really be made more inefficient? Are the measures that I have proposed to ensure accountability of union workers insufficient?

Unnion workers would "ensure accountability" of other union workers. Are you kidding me.

Have you read the full bill? Where did you get the idea that union members would be the ones ensuring the accountability? The Competitive Contracting Committee is not made up of union members.

I know. But since they would be jsut political appointees, with little conmpetence to do anything but stare at a computer screen wondering why does the ball in the screensaver keeps jumping, the ones who would really evaluate the performance would be those allready unnionised. It reminds of of one Dilbert strip:
Pointy Haired Boss: Remember our VP's visit? You asked why was your project canceled.
He promissed to give you an ansewer. That task was delegated on me.
You would like you to prepare an answer in my name. You have to suspend your new project until it gets done.

Well, if the President's appointees are as incompetent as you say, hopefully the Senate would not approve the appointments. There is no reason why it is required that they be incompetent.

I urge my fellow remaining Senators to vote on this amendment.  The massive backlog of bills and ammendments that need to be passed just seems to be getting bigger.
