It seems to me that the labor union and NARFE are the right places to fight to get the policy changed. The TSP Board simply doesn't do enough to support feds in the TSP. The system is antiquated and doesn't meet the needs of folks trying to growth their retirement next egg.

Bravo.
I think it would take a concerted effort to fix this. There must be leadership. The workers would have to first be educated and brought onboard. Afterwards, it would get more political. Pressure should start at the grassroots level...first applying local pressure, towards union leaders, for example. Then that combined pressure would be directed towards one or more relevant politicians at the national level. You can't fire those running the TSP; so you have to vote folks out of office that refuse to bring about the change that the people want.
What would you do with a letter someone wrote you asking you to voluntarily increase your workload...exactly.
