I interpret this as FDR saying Unions for thee, but not for me.
The only thing O is interested in is the fact that a substantial block of voters and political activists are in public employee unions. Community organizers utilize this sort of involvement.
....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. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

FDR was a flaming libtard “do as I say not as I do” idiot. =.=
Great catch!
I hope #Rush reads this letter on-air today.
So, they did, and he did what he said he'd do.
What you have to do is bifurcate what FDR is saying there ~ part of it is a promise to AFL-CIO (etc.) affiliates and the other part is a warning to the Commies.
The pro-American postal unions then spent a fair amount of time in the streets beating the pulp out of the Commies.
