Nothing easier for a President to do:
A Republican President could do a big favor to taxpayers and to the country by revoking EO’s 10988 and 11491.
Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that recognized the right of federal employees to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act.
Executive Order 10988 was effectively replaced by President Richard Nixon’s Executive Order 11491 in 1969.
Stroke of the pen: federal unions gone!
Doesn’t sound like a big fight, just takes the will to do it. Walker did not let his intentions be known concerning unions when he was running for governor. Both his elections were on off election years when Democrat participation was low.
If Dems had known what he had planned, I think they would have showed up in droves to vote against him and he would not be governor.
By the same token, anyone who is the nominee and proposes this would likely lose the general. There are no lengths Dems won’t go to preserve the power that they have through unions.
That’s correct.
It only takes a new President the stroke of a pen to revoke those EO’s and end the federal government control by unions.
We have had 5 Republican Presidents since 1962. Which one took this simple action?
