ALL government unions need killing, at all levels of government. Just look at all the bankrupt cities. No one represents the taxpaying citizens in those criminal conspiracies that gang rape the taxpayers.
“ALL government unions need killing, at all levels of government.”
And we should start with the US Postal Service. In fact, we should have a Constitutional Amendment that allows the government to get completely out of the mail service. Just that action alone would “retire” something on the order of 400,000 government leeches with bad attitudes toward those of us who are forced to pay them.
Taxation WITHOUT representation. We were a Republic, once. We didn’t keep it.
Bump and double bump. The govmint employees have representation already while the employer, the taxpayer, does not have a seat at the table. Public unions make the employee more beholden to the union then to the taxpayer who pay their salary.
From Wikipedia:
"Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that recognized the right of federal employees to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act.* * *
Executive Order 10988 was effectively replaced by President Richard Nixon's Executive Order 11491 in 1969.
According to the Washington Post:
At the federal level, about 63 percent of federal workers are unionized, estimates Robert Tobias, a former president of the National Treasury Employees Union and now director of Key Executive Leadership Programs at American University. Although BLS does not confirm Tobias’s estimate, it’s clear unions have a strong presence in the federal government.
