“Didn’t JFK say that public sector unions were incompatible with government ?”
==

“The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a vehicle to get workers more of the profits they help create. Government workers, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers. F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.”

Democrat FDR was a communist , the new deal, SSi etc. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can see that.

democrat JFK was to the left of FDR on this and unionized federal employees with an Obama like executive order.

All democrats and all media reporters are communists. The media deifies democrat JFK when he was just another commie dictator wanna be.

JFK did a dictatorial executive order that unionized federal employees. JFK was a democrat and all are communists .FDR was a communist in the 1930’s we all know that .The media says JFK was a conservative . The media lies. All democrats are communists period. The media too are communists every one of them

This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner A

Super! Trump can quote FDR as he closes down the federal employee unions. Democrats were always complaining about Republican threats to "shut down the government". Unions have had that knife at our throats for six decades.

With 90 million people out of work, Trump shouldn't have any trouble replacing the people who don't want to work under the new rules.
