Using terms of art whose meaning derives from the CSRA, the collective bargaining agreement defined grievable matters to include “prohibited personnel practices” as well as “adverse actions and removals for performance”.

holding that denial of a bonus was not an adverse employment action holding that termination is an adverse employment action holding that the expiration and nonrenewal of a term appointment is not an adverse action recognizing that unequal pay is an adverse action holding that nonrenewal of an appointment is not a removal under 5 usc  7512 and thus not an adverse action as defined in 5 usc  7512
