Report: At Least 180 Federal Workers Planning to Disobey Trump Administration

Townhall ^ | February 1, 2017 | Justin Holcomb

I read that there is something like 2.8M civilian Federal employees. So 1,000 or even 10,000 snowflakes would be round off and insignificant.

However, the size of government we need would be better served with less than half that number.

[piytar]

Trump won’t fire them. He will simply remove their jobs from the budget. Bye bye, snowflakes and leftscum.

[bkopto]

Not showing up to work, taking extended vacations, filing worker's rights lawsuits, and obstructing the process in any way possible are just a few of the legal ways federal workers

Great to know that my taxes are funding these idiots. Try pulling these stunts in private industry. Goes to show these fed jobs are useless, make-work positions.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Not actually doing your job is one of the few reasons you can get fired from The Federal Government, isn’t it?

Apparently not. See: Veterans Administration. :-(
I think one legal way to deal with these employees is to transfer them to areas where they cannot do any damage.

[Reno89519]

Congress should make government work ‘right-to-work’, giving officials ability to fire disloyal, unproductive, and unwanted workers.

[wally_bert]

180 unnecessary jobs cut, money saved.

Of course the writer intended “diametrically,” but he instead committed a perfect Freudian slip. I’d like to think he caught it but, upon reflection, decided to let it stand. ;^)

[BMATR003]

President Trump should open up as many new offices he needs in the Antarctic for those who need an attitude adjustment. This way the unions can't file a law suit. Their positions were transferred to where the need is! If they don't like their new work location they can resign!

[eyeamok]

Is this the same 180 employees that President Trump just Transferred to Puerto Rico??

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

They might as well send around a flyer that says, If you want to get fired, sign this form.

[macglencoe]

Trump will just do away with the offending agency/agencies, and create another with combined responsibilities. Who needs 17 intelligence agencies.

[blueunicorn6]

You don’t have to control every federal employee.

You only have to control the pay computer.

Then, the computer starts having glitches.

Turnabout is fair play.

If the employees complain, have them declared dangerous and removed from the facility.

[OregonRancher]

Read “plunder” by Stephan Greenhut, exposes the union in gov.

[saturn]

I have a question. Wasn’t the ability of the federal employees to unionize done by an executive order? If so President MAGA could just as easily undo it. Thanks for your help.

[SpaceBar]

A government employee that fires himself is like a dog kibble that makes its own sauce.

[Huskrrrr]

From government job to unemployment insurance. Trading one teat for another.

[Paladin2]

RICO....

[dp0622]

Well that’s something.

Any way to break the unions for good?

If he slashes money for depts can’t you do layoffs?

[bkopto]

I’m sure that if I read the book, my blood pressure would rise to unhealthy levels.

[jospehm20]

I caught that too but I like diabolically.
