She was a GS-4 and working as a secretary. They demoted her to a GS-3 and had her working as a mail room clerk at the end of her "career".
She retired after 20 years and barely rec'd $700 a month as a pension; less than $200 SSA.
After she died, being I was the executor, I was notified of a class-action lawsuit re: what occurred.
Finally, some 4-5 years later I rec'd a check for $1500 or so. 
What an insult that was to her.
They didn't quite get away with it but they sure tried!
