Look on the horizon..
.. you can see the tip of Lee Saunder’s erection.
THE “EMPLOYER” who gets MASSIVE Campaign Donations......
Reuters and Yahoo do the Soros teamup.
JFK as Prez issued an executive order allowing fed worker unionization. LBJ later codified it into federal law.
None should be!
Unionized government employees are the natural constituency of the modern Democratic Party.
Government Unions probably are unconstitutional!
Well be tested!
Agreed. I read “...help workers join labor unions...” to mean forcing workers to join with things like confiscating union dues from paychecks.
the political hacks take our hard-earned $$$ by force of arms (taxes)
they then hire a bunch of bureaucrats and “regulators”
(perhaps 90 percent of whom are not needed for honest, efficient government)
they then sign these multitudes up into unions
the unions then suck $$$ out of the bureaucrats’ paychecks (union dues, fees, and assessments)
the corrupt union bosses then kick back a big chunk of that $$$$ (which all was taken from us, the taxpayers) to the very political hacks who took the money from us in the first place
it is just armed robbery....using “unions” as the bagmen.
any of the rest of us, any normal citizen, would be tossed into prison for a corrupt scheme like this
As long as the woketards are all about banning things, let’s ban all government unions. Teachers Union while we’re at it.
Who is John Galt?
I was one of those who did not ever become a union member.
However, less than 10% of the people in my office were like-minded.
The Gov’t workers union is news? It’s been around for decades. There are exceptions based on securty clerances, which negate membership. Most of those exempt can continue to breath happy impartial breaths of relief.
The Unions got the idea from the Italian Mafia. Boss man and the enforcers to collect from the merchants. The people? Cancel Culture.
“ This is absolute lunacy? An employer promoting unionization????”
Hardly.
The Democrats are doing this (expanding the Union reach into federal employment) to enhance their own power and control. It worked very well when Trump was in office to have the behemoth federal bureaucracy thwart him at every turn. Union control of more of the employees only enhances that capability. This is locking in their control of the federal bureaucracy, making them responsive to only to the Leftist politicians - their fellow riders.
Just takes more power away from the people (the voters). Exactly what the political elite wants.
I’m a federal employee (27 years now) and have never joined the union. I’m now a manager now.
Most of my staff don’t join the union either. We all figured out long ago that the union actively works against federal employees who work hard, protecting only those employees who are slackers.
There should be NO government employee unions. That is essentially pitting the taxpayer versus the unionized employee. That is not good.
Labor unions are anti-free market, inherently socialistic, serve primarily to the benefit of the under-achievers, and inevitably are corrupted into a criminal organization.

The same is true of “professional organizations”.
I’m now a manager now.

In the Department of Redundancy Department?
Our communist masters continue on a roll...
Nothing & no one stops them...
Soon, very soon, if you are a federal employee, if you don’t join a union, you can kiss any future promotions goodbye...
