I expect a few former and current feds on this thread are well aware of this tactic by Congress and the government unions. It has long been considered risky to give themselves a pay raise in an election year. In the nineties they went for a number of years without a pay raise. I don't think that feds have much interest in congressional pay raises. It only matters to the handful of feds at the very highest federal pay levels. The rank an file will get their pay raises regardless of congressional salaries.
