President Donald Trump surely realizes that most workers employed by the federal government diabolically oppose his views of America.
According to a new report, at least 180 of those employees "have signed up for a workshop featuring expert advice on workers rights and expressing civil disobedience." Also, dozens more federal workers have attended a support groups for discussing opposition to the Trump administration.
As President Trump settles into the White House, he will have to start examining ways to expedite his transition from the top down. His agenda is nothing more than words in the long term if the people working for him fail to carry out his promises.
Not showing up to work, taking extended vacations, filing worker's rights lawsuits, and obstructing the process in any way possible are just a few of the legal ways federal workers can bring President Trump's agenda to a halt.
From the CIA to the State Department, at some point, a mass overhaul of former employees from the Clinton, Bush and Obama eras has to happen. President Trump can sign as many executive orders as he wants, but it will mean nothing in the long run if the people who stood behind him during the campaign are not serving him as employees.
“Federal unions were created by Kennedy by Executive Order. They can just as easily be eliminated by Executive Order.”
I thought they came to be under LBJ. But, if they were created by EO, as you say, then maybe Trump will rescind it with an EO of his own! Winning!
Arrest them. Then fire them.
Or Fire them. Then do the paperwork afterwards.
Reduce their pay. Have them fight tooth and nail to get it back.
Freeze their assets. Make their life very uncomfortable. Then force them out.
Don’t fire them. Laythem off with no pay. But keep them on the books.
Come on ya-all. We all have lived through the upsizing, down-sizing and layoffs of the 1980s, the 1990’s, and the 2000s. None of these panty-waists had that glorious experience.
I am sure THE DONALD can think of ways to accomplish this task.
Robert, the Holman rule has been reactivated. Federal bureaucrats can be eliminated under this rule. Read about it here:
As part of its broader package of rules for the 115th Congress, the House of Representatives revived the Holman Rule, a provision that allows House members to propose amendments to spending bills that closely manage federal agencies. These “retrenchment” amendments can affect details down to individual federal salaries and the number of staff in an office.

Start firing these people. As you Cabinet heads take office, have them start an interview/employee-discussion session with middle management. Send out the message that “insubordination” in any form will not be tolerated. Start changing the regulations regarding firing civil servants for cause.
It has been said that up to 30% of the civilian federal workers think they may resign rather than work for Trump. If that is how they feel then send them on their way as quickly as possible and replacement with people who want to work.
Diametrically opposed is a philosophical thing.
Diabolically opposed is one the edge of getting arrested.
“So long as the signatories, having communicated their opinions about a policy, dutifully act to carry out any legal orders, when the final decision has been made then allowing them to express their opinions is a healthy thing.”
Ideally. But practically and actually, when a person has signed anything counter to what the organization’s management is doing, the signer is marked forever more. He will move to the “troublemaker” class and future work life in that organization most likely will be a living hell. As a retired H.R. employee I’ve seen it happen to many people.
As to union=
Just pass an edict that the dues will no longer be deducted by the Government, let the Union run around collecting dues every couple of weeks or so
AND
Have strict ‘crackdown’ on visitors or having people ‘solicit’ payments while on the clock.
Why does one think that the Govt ‘forces’ your employer to withhold your taxes, and other deductions.
Get that hundred or so in your hand every payday and it will get harder and harder to turn around and write a check...
I think it's about to get much easier.
Trump should kill off the government workers unions altogether by rescinding Kennedy’s EO #10988
Diabolic: Related to or coming from the devil (diabolos).
In this case,either one probably works just fine.
I’ll have to see it work before I get excited. They are not known for things that actually work in the government.
you’re fired!!
I’m no business genius, but doesn’t that make the cuts that much easier?
It’s probably diabolically with some of them.
Eliminating those 180 jobs is not much compared to our annual deficit, but it’s a start.
Probably can’t fire them unless they are directly insubordinate - stupid union rules. Probably have to declare a RIF and eliminate their jobs.
### it. obama never obeyed the law.
Fire everybody.
Claim federal bankruptcy emergency. It wouldn’t be a lie!!!
I mean once a competent person is in charge.
The VA is an example of people not doing their jobs, but the people at the top are ALSO not doing their job.
“...transfer them...”
To someplace like Adak.
