[Eleutheria5]

Bad government groups.

[Eleutheria5]

[BenLurkin]

Federal employee unions are NOT for good government.

They are for government.

[Resolute Conservative]

Every time a deep stater uses the word “non-partisan” it makes me chuckle.

[G Larry]

Even FDR objected to Federal Employee unions, as they sit on both sides of the bargaining table.

[Vaduz]

Yes and for self protection for the incompetent.

The feds are infested with a lot of them.

[ronnie raygun]

It passes as “non-partisan” only in the never-ending “Opposite Day” of the leftard bubble world. It means, “on our side, not yours.”
