"In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10988, which permitted collective bargaining by federal employees. Widely seen as a gift to George Meany, the AFL-CIO head who helped Kennedy win the White House, the executive order was also a gift to government unions, both because it widened federal membership and because it signaled national approval of unions for state and local employees."

Rescind EO 10988!

Then, limit federal bureaucrats to a 10 year limit of service.

I knew that JFK was the one who brought in PSUs but I didn’t know it was a payoff to George Meany. I thought I read somewhere that even George Meany didn’t approve of PSUs.
