The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said Thursday that President Trump signed an executive order limiting numerous agency employees from unionizing and instructing the government to stop engaging in any collective bargaining.

The OPM memo references an order from Trump that has yet to be publicly posted, but a fact sheet from the White House claims that the Civil Service Reform Act that allows government workers to unionize “enables hostile Federal unions to obstruct agency management.”

This is SO needed ! Even liberal messiah, FDR, recognized the inherent conflict of interest of having unionized government employees.

Yes!! ALL public unions should be banned including teacher’s unions. These “public servants” are negotiating against us, their source of revenue.

Unlike private-sector unions, which negotiate with profit-driven firms constrained by competition, public unions face governments that don’t go bankrupt (typically) and can raise taxes. Critics, including economist Milton Friedman, have argued this gives unions excessive leverage, as elected officials may cave to demands to avoid strikes or win votes.

Undoing JFK, I hope he gets them all.

Government workers at any level should not be able to unionize against the people.

This is an old Imprimis article that deals mostly with local public employee unions; but the principles are the same:

IT doesn't take long to sign a pre-printed TRO.

Civil servants should not be allowed to negotiate for more taxpayer distribution.
