AFGE says they hope to have an open dialogue with the agencys new administrator
WASHINGTON AFGE commended newly-confirmed Administrator Scott Pruitt for opening a dialogue with frontline workers on his first day at the Environmental Protection Agency.
I am eager to see if Administrator Pruitt stands by his commitment to seek out guidance from the people who have dedicated their lifes work to protecting Americas air and water, said AFGE National President J. David Cox Sr. EPA workers have been made a scapegoat for many of our countrys problems, when in fact, they have only been protecting and serving the American people by keeping our water clean to drink and our air safe to breathe.
The Trump Administration has made it clear it plans to massively scale back the work of the EPA, which would be detrimental to the environmental and economic health of communities across the country. In yesterdays speech, Pruitt hinted that he plans to shift some of the agencys work to state-run partners.

Freeze hiring and new “regulations” (aka “administrative unconstitutional laws”), reduce staff 20 percent per year, and finally abolish the agency. ‘nuff said.
Needs PATCOing.
Typical “the sky is falling and we’re the only one’s who can stop it” union BS!
The EPA has morphed into the most anti-American pack of government storm troopers of all of the Federal agencies.
Just what I was thinking. Merci....
The labor unions that will benefit from far less EPA far outnumber this herd of bureaucratic appendages.
'Shut it down!'
I want the EPA eviscerated!!
Question 1: Why the he-double-toothpicks is there an EPA UNION? WHO IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NEGOTIATING TABLE? All public employee unions must be destroyed.
I agree with FDR, outlaw all Government Unions.
10% across the board cut - NEW HIRES GO FIRST.
Get rid of the ObamaBots first.
Then keep cleaning house. I think EPA regs could be cut 75% and the entire operation by 50%.
Then completely eliminated the Dept of Education. That’s a total disaster.
Nixon, btw, created the EPA.
And Nixon also created OSHA. Too bad these happened before Watergate...
deport all epa employees to thule to study AGW up close and personal.
No space heaters allowed in the office or barracks— save the whales, polar bears, and spotted owls.
The AFGE is a money-maker for the Democratic party.
Disband the federal unions, et al!
