Well,this union boss is using the same dem tactics,You won't get your social security,your workplace won't be safe,the environment will be polluted,you won't have safe food or clean water!

blah,blah,blah,more fake news from the largest Federal Employee Union.

The important part is that the Democrat party will get less funding/contributions from the unions.

[redfreedom]

AFGE (AFL-CIO) is in bed with the dems, and has been since forever. They do not care about their dues paying members, the federal government or the taxpayer.

They are leaches than need to be trimmed down to size.

[Mariner]

These people are delusional.

Contracts are cheaper if you don’t let government employees write them.

[PapaBear3625]

I've heard stories of government agencies having to hire contractors, because the affirmative action employees were unable to do the job.

And while it might be true that contractor rates are higher than the base employee rate, contractors don't get benefits, and most especially don't get federal pensions. Total cost is likely much lower.

Trump is backtracking on campaign pledges to create American jobs and cut wasteful government spending by issuing an executive order to freeze federal employee hiring....

LOL! Anyone who knows anything about economics knows that the creation of a public employee position comes at the expense of many fewer jobs created in the private sector. What an idiot.

[DoughtyOne]

The American Federation of Government Employees Us First (AFGEUF) said...

Who give a rip what they said?

We're taking this nation back a-holes.

[a real Sheila]

“Numerous studies have shown that contractors are two to three times more costly than each federal employee they replace,...”

such as?

[SpaceBar]

Fencing will hurt the chickens said the fox.

[jonrick46]

Of course the AFGE is going to cry over the hiring freeze. These unions line the pockets of the union hierarchy and the pockets of the politicians at the expense of the workers. Many are Leftist Marxist sympathizers.

[rigelkentaurus]

At the ultra large world wide company I worked for, when a hiring freeze was in place, it came along with a REDUCTION in contractor workforce, not an increase.

[shotgun]

Does anyone remember this Union ever saying anything about the wasteful spending on federal contractors before?

[stillfree?]

Well, if the freeze will cost more money it’s clear that firing them is in order.

[ducttape45]

I’m a federal worker and I disagree with his statement. Plus, and something this gentleman forgets to mention, federal hiring at military bases is unaffected.

[Let's Roll]

As if unions ever answered to the American people.

[Jack Hammer]

non-partisan much...?

[Joe Boucher]

Crappola,
Get rid of 65 percent of gub mint and the world will be a better place

[Logical me]

Freeze is nothing compared to draining the swamp.

[Nifster]

Stupidest argument ever

[Chaguito]

Perhaps the union boss hasn’t considered that much federal employees are the equivalent of train conductors. Trains are still running without them.

[hawg-farmer - FR..October 1998]

POTUS is getting Flack, he is right over the TARGET. Union Management is the problem. Public UNIONS? HAHAHAHA
