Hey,David,I'm a working person and President Trumps Budget should cut more!

Guess we will see what happens.

Here's an old song I like;)

Meaning it fails union leaders from getting a higher compensation and retirement benefits.

How would a government employees union know anything about work or working people?

“The severity of the budget cuts proposed by President Trump could require mass layoffs of employees at federal departments and agencies, although the budget blueprint released by the White House does not detail how many federal employees could lose their jobs.”

This BS is all about Government Union Jobs! Good, hope they enjoy the unemployment lines like the taxpaying citizens have had to endure these past 8 years! Turnabout is fair play!

By “Working People”, this guy means his fellow hogs feeding at the public trough that is constantly refilled by the beleaguered net taxpayers. I suppose some of them DO work hard. And those few should probably do OK working in the private sector.

Eliminate public employee unions altogether! NO AFGE union at all.

mass layoffs of employees at federal departments and agencies

I worked in DC for a boss whose hands were tied in reducing positions.

However when a few employees that would not produce falsified their records to say they did things, when in fact they were goofing off, he terminated them.

Funny thing is, they were never missed. There seems to be a bunch of employees in DC that see their daily jobs as commuting to and from work, reading the news, doing personal thinks like email on the internet, going on breaks, visiting co-workers, having lunch and avoiding any actual performance. They won't be missed.

Sorry, unions, it’s not the job of the taxpayer to keep padding your membership rolls.

Since when does one of the largest FEDERAL EMPLOYEE unions do anything for “the working man”?

You produce nothing, you give no rise to the word ‘profit’, you get paid from taxes wrenched from the hands of real ‘working people’, at inflated wages when compared to the competitive wage in the area, you are guaranteed more than two weeks ‘vacation time’ a year, and should you acrue more than the maximum amount, you MUST use them or lose the excess (over 240 hours), you acrue 4 hours ‘sick time’ per payday until you retire or resign with no maximum limit.

The average real American working person does not have all this, and be paid from folks’ taxes.

Working people as in Union Labor leader compensation packages, peons are known as labor.

Working people withdraw dues, labor pays them...

I worked for a Fortune 500 Company for over 30 Years, 20 of those Years in different Management roles.

Every time we got a new Department Head (EVP / SVP), we had to “re-interview” for our Job Positions.

You either stayed where you were, moved to another Position within the Department, looked outside our Department for a new Position or took your Severance Package and moved on with your Life.

There was never a day I went to work thinking my Job was a lock. Not because of the Company culture, but because my Father told me at a very young age that Nobody owes you a living.
