Summary
Donald Trump issued an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from about 700,000 federal workers, citing a “national security” exemption in the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act.
The order targets unions at major departments, including Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees condemned the move as illegal and vowed legal action.
Union leaders accused the administration of undermining workers’ rights to benefit billionaire interests and called the decree the largest union-busting effort in U.S. history.
Biden seems pretty good now, right?
No, you don’t get it, this is his fault (and Harris’s). Genocide Joe, right? We sure taught the Dems a powerful lesson.
CLASSIC LINKERBAAN
Another executive order. What does this guy think he is, king?
That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he’s signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is… fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.
Who says you can’t tell if its sarcasm if its text?
His base called him God emperor 4 or 5 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if an egomaniac like him took it to heart.
These threats will not work. Americans will not be intimidated or silenced.
Are you sure? Seems like Trump is able to do anything he wants.
Is that how this works? I declare a 3 day workweek!
I mean, so, he wants a general strike?
I assume then Putin wants a general strike.
No, he wants to pull a Reagan part 2 and fire any government worker who goes on strike. Trump has an army of loyalists willing to do whatever he says, who would be more than happy to scab any strike to inefficacy. Even if they’re terrible at the job, all that matters is that they’re loyal.
They don’t want the scabs either. A dysfunctional government is the goal. Then they will say, see it doesn’t work. And use that as an excuse to scrap more of our government.
True, another valid point.
Those calling for a strike, or think a strike from federal workers would help seem to be missing some info. Federal workers sign a contract giving up their right to strike. All federal workers who would strike are forfeiting their jobs and source of income. Is that fact being factored in when yall are calling for a strike to set things in motion to enact change? As always, free Palestine.
