That union along with many other government employee unions are some of the reasons this country is so screwed up.
Even FDR was against public-sector unions.
Public-sector unions are conspiracies against the taxpayer.
Abolish the IRS, period. With all it’s discretional powers it’s bound to be politicized, corrupted, and pressured by vested interests, and it necessitates a staff the size of the Russian army. A value added tax or flat tax would eliminate this enormous government waste as well as politicization.
Letter from FDR Regarding Collective Bargaining of Public Unions written August 16, 1937.
“All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management.
The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations.
Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees.
A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable.”
Yeah, and Trump wants to be at the head of it. How does trump deal with unions?
The Veterans Administration is the only part that the public knows about being screwed up. And they don’t care. It’s a big pharma drug-laundering scheme against our veterans. How many good men have we lost on that front?
“Public-sector unions are conspiracies against the taxpayer. “
In private secor, the management/business owner is the enemy.
In government unions, the TAXPAYER is the enemy.
Working to abolish them in government I would think since they have 90% too many employees at 350% of normal pay and compensation.
In many ways government employment is far worse then regular welfare.
