President Trump signed three executive orders Friday containing sweeping reforms that weaken protections for federal workers and eliminate perks for the unions that represent them.
Under the new executive orders, unions will be charged rent for federal office space and will not be reimbursed for travel expenses or for hours spent appealing worker firings.
All federal workers will be ordered to spend 75 percent of their time on government work, and agencies are ordered to publicly post union contracts in an online repository.

Agreed, but it’s going to be tough.
No.
Or steal SSN numbers.
Love Trump is running government like for profit company. MAGA
This is what the new rule is trying to eliminate:
Excerpted from article:
“”Over 470 Veterans Affairs employees spend 100 percent of their duty hours working for a labor union instead of serving veterans. This includes 74 full-time nurses,” the White House said in a fact sheet.”
470 employees in just one department spend 100% of their time promoting/organizing the government employee union (and against the interests of the taxpayers paying their salaries) instead of actually doing the job they were hired to do. This will limit them to 10 hours of union activity (presuming they are on a 40 hour workweek, and not a shorter one) per week.
This is vaguely reminiscent to me of the UAW Job Bank at General Motors (that was eliminated when Obama crushed the ‘old’ GM with a bailout and placed all the bad assets in that stock company and rolled the good assets to a ‘new’ GM with the TARP money in 2008-9.
Destroying the UAW Job Bank at GM was the only good thing Obama ever did - and that was probably incidental to Socializing GM’s losses - and an accident.
“All federal workers will be ordered to spend 75 percent of their time on government work”
That’s going to cause some real angst.
What the hell were they doing before?
I think they're talking about union "officials", shop stewards, etc. Currently, even though they were hired to work in the civil service, most of the union "officials" spend most of their time doing union "work" ...
I took that to mean limiting political activity. A lot of those anointed derps spend their entire time on politics/ lobbying. This will severely curtail the all day /everyday nonsense.
This week:
* Called MS-13 animals, didn't back down and supported parents that lost loved ones to these Savages.
* Gutted Dodd Frank, For all but the "too big to fail" Banks. Possible increase in GDP of 1%
* VA Reform, finally 30 yrs in the making and they can fire laggards.
* And now this, real world work rules for Federal Employees....
BestPOTUSEvah!
OH NOES you mean they are actually going to have to WORK what a pity
That is a big deal. Despite the general dislike of gov workers, there is a pretty close eye on hours and productivity of all workers except the union reps, most of the reps consider the union as their full time work. That 75% is directed at the union reps.
Which probably means that many of them were being paid for doing nothing. How on earth can so many people be 100% on “labor union” tasks? What does that even mean?
I wonder how many even come into work.
Oh, I can take it!!! Don’t stop!!! 😁
$100 million saved?
For all this guy has saved us he ought to take a vacation at Palm Beach...
Good! On to the state and local levels, too!
Why do people who already enjoy Civil Service protection need unions?
Would be better to just repeal the EO that Kennedy issued.
But baby steps.
As usual, Good Job DJT.
“All federal workers will be ordered to spend 75 percent of their time on government work”
What the heck!
Investigating the possibility of regulating pornstars is the role of many federal workers. They have to watch porn to see what they need to regulate. It takes more than 25% of their time.
Investigating Trump supporters is far behind investigating those porn stars.
75% government work; 75% pay.
Unions and big companies should not get gov and tax perks.
YEEEEHAW!!!
This former federal worker/first level union rep is jumping for joy!!!
Why?? All that I saw when I worked for D.o.D., Census Bureau, and the beloved (hawk, spit!) V.A., will now be vindicated!!
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!
