Trump is expected to ask Congress to cut EPA’s budget 24 percent and reduce the agency’s staff by 3,000 employees.

O’Grady works out of EPA’s Chicago office where about 30 agency employees took to the streets to protest the nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the agency. The Senate confirmed Pruitt in February.

No government worker should be unionized, and no govt. agency manager should be a member of a union either

1) The union-thug bureaucRATs collectively bargain against the taxpayers.

2) The taxapayers have no seat at the bargaining table.

Are there any questions?

They haven't given up on unionizing the Military yet either.

Well, a jackazz commie tried it in the 70’s— now he is finally dead, and was confirmed subversive. Just like ‘bradley’ manning was a spy, and should NOT be released, no matter what obamaumao did.

Holland military has 4 freakin’ unions—. And, of course the blue helmets of the UN, if NWO global gubmint fully established— could easily be unionized within the socialist communist machinations inside the UN.
