Govt. sector unions was a big mistake and I think one of our guys initiated it.....short of a reversal, this will all but kill them.
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.
This was payback to Mayor Daley and the unions for the voter fraud in Chicago that allowed Kennedy to steal the Presidential election from Nixon.
