Why do state and federal workers need a union?
These unions are the basis for the swamp and
Shadow government.
Federal workers should be held to the same standards as our military. No way should they, as a union, be allowed to funnel funds to one particular party over the objections of individual members. If the President wins, it will decimate AFSME and the rest of the federal worker’s unions, as it should be. I’m getting so tired of winning!
The union hierarchy functions as an alternate and independent command-and-control line to public employees.

How else are the elected & connected to launder $$$?
Where else BUT govt does it ‘make sense’ to be the employer, ‘negotiating’ w/ the union(s)...on behalf of the piggy-bank\taxpayers? Can you say ‘conflict of interest’??
My step-father-in-law is a permanent member of our (blue) state’s arbitration board. It is a job for life overseeing union contract negotiations between municipalities and their public employees, as well as disciplinary actions. I asked him the same question. He said without public employee unions the employees would all get fired whenever elections change the leadership. I laughed. Then I said “So what”.
For the same reason as any other union - to protect the workers from their employers.
However, in the case of public sector unions, they are protecting themselves from us.
