He's right again! How can the USA expect to compete with barefooted
workers earning 2 bowls of rice a day over in China and Vietnam if y'all
don't work cheaper?? Trump also needs to ban retirement.
Just ahead of Labor Day weekend, President Donald Trump escalated his
attack on the federal workforce by trying to strip union rights from more federal employees.
Trump signed an executive order Thursday purporting to strip collective- bargaining abilities from workers at the National Weather Service, the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other federal agencies, claiming a “national security” exemption.
move builds on a sweeping executive order in March that aimed to end
bargaining rights for an estimated 1 million federal workers under the same premise.
Federal unions continue to challenge that order in federal court, noting
that many of the workers covered by it — including nurses and park rangers
— obviously serve no national-security functions. They’ve called the administration’s actions retaliation for their opposition to Trump’s
federal workforce agenda.
Matt Biggs, president of the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers, which represents NASA workers who would lose their
union under the order, said it was “particularly upsetting” that Trump
chose to sign his latest order just ahead of Labor Day, a federal holiday
meant to honor the U.S. labor movement and how it has improved the lives of American workers.
As HuffPost reported in April, Trump has gone further than even former President Ronald Reagan in trying to break federal unionism. In addition to stripping bargaining rights from workers, he has derailed agencies that
enforce federal union rights, ended paycheck dues deduction to starve
unions of their funding, and effectively ignored union contracts negotiated
by his predecessor.
“It’s very obvious what they’re trying to do,” Lauren Leib, who heads a
union chapter at the Bureau of Land Management, told HuffPost at the time. “[The administration] knows we fight, and they know it’s in the public interest. We’re fighting to keep people in these positions so they can
continue to serve and they don’t like it.”
