Good, because it is a national security threat. Even FDR did not fall for that stupid desire that many wanted him to do but he knew better.

Great! FDR opposed government unions.

Federal employee unions are money laundries against the American people.

The very idea of a union of government employees is anathema to the public security of a Republic......................

JFK really screwed the pooch with his EO authorizing government unionization. The SEIU should die.

It used to be, you went into government partly because it was a highly secure if lower paying job, and perhaps a bit for the service aspect.

Now, the benefits and job security are second to none.

Anyone who is paid through the extraction of monies from citizens by force of law shall or should be required to serve those same citizens by that same force of law - or be fired, fined, jailed, and banished!

He’s keeping them on defense. Sure he will get pushback but all these cases will need to be decided at scotus.
We also have significant real risks of war with China Russia and Iran. In the case of an actual war, they really couldn’t really stop this at all.

Much of the US Government does deal with National Security issues, or at least that’s why they’ve ALWAYS been telling Republicans at Congressional Hearings.

So adios, BIG LABOR, even your Number 1 cheerleader here won’t be able to stop Trump on this issue.

If he is able to pull this off, federal workers return to being public servants not union members.

Govt workers are part of our national security. Imagine soldiers having the right to strike.

Most union members in the United States are government employees.

Even FDR was famously opposed to government employee unions because they’re a conflict of interest. The union dues support those politicians who support the unions.

Trump appears to have reentered the White House with a think tank full of advisory research.
No individual person could even find so many references and facts so rapidly

All public sector unions negotiate their pay packages with no taxpayer representation at the table. In these negotiations your elected rep is now a gubmint representative, not your representative. Since the gubmint considers tax revenue to be infinite, there is no pressure to limit the union demands. This is the primary reason (among many others) to abolish public sector unions.

I have always had a problem with unionized government employees as those unions tend to make substantial political contributions to the elected officials who govern them. Perhaps if government employee unions were strictly forbidden from making any political contributions and barred their members from any participation in political campaigns.

Even the collective bargaining contracts with government employee unions are problematic as it can circumvent the legislative budgeting process. I recall some years ago in Iowa where the union contract for wage increases ran into a legislative problem when the state was facing a budget shortfall.

All unions need to be ended. You don’t like your pay, go find another job. After that union leader who yelled at one of the rallies threatening to crush the nation and hurt the people, just no.
