It was a mistake by JFK in permitting the unionization of Federal employees. Even FDR was against it during his presidency.

President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 10988, on January 17, 1962: “Employee-Management Cooperation in the Federal Sector.”

Good for Trump and the Nation, but unions should have no place in government.

Yeah, sure, right. I’m sure the thousands and thousands of postal and healthcare, and LE workers will agree. NOT. Some authors should have their heads examined for thinking deficiencies or brain damage.

I worked the federal employee racket:
DoD, Census, and the V.A. also, was first level union rep.

I agree, the federal unions should be abolished.

Unions should have no place period. Their usefulness went away in the 60’s.

As an active UAW worker, i will take that one step further, the corrupt union leadership and their marxist leanings have no place in the United States.

Government unions are organized against the public. They should be illegal!

As a federal employee, I’m going to argue this point a little.

The federal government is made up of a lot of idiots, and many of those idiots end up in management. People get poorly rated because their bosses choose their friends over the best employees. Bosses gossip and end up unjustly destroying reputations. Bosses will sometimes pick favorites based off political affiliation versus skill. HR is mostly staffed by low IQ know-nothings who can’t help anyone with anything. The union gives federal workers the opportunity to defend themselves against idiot management when they inevitably f*ck up the career of a decent employee who is working for The People. That is the value I have seen to date in having federal employees unionized - insurance against idiot bosses, which the government is full of.

There should be no discussion. There is no legitimate, moral or ethical reason at all for ANY Public Sector Employee to be permitted or allowed to be the member of a Labor Union. The simple FACT of the matter is that virtually all Government Employees (not “workers”) have numerous “protections” in place through Civil Service Laws and policies. The ONLY function of Government Employees unions like SEIU or NEA is to be a fund raising apparatus for the DemocRAT Party.

I defy anybody to prove me wrong.

The country is in real trouble if the merit system is replaced by at will workers fireable by elected officials. There are already too many appointees, who tend to make much more money and are much more political. The unions protect the merit system and the merit system protects the public. It’s not perfect but nothing is.
