Summary
Trump is nullifying federal employee union contracts negotiated in Biden’s final days.
Affected contracts include one with the Education Department ratified just before his inauguration. Trump cited a 2010 Supreme Court decision to justify his stance but did not provide a clear legal basis.
Federal employee unions, representing 800,000 workers, vowed legal action, calling Trump’s move unlawful intimidation.
This continues Trump’s prior efforts to weaken job protections, with additional plans to reclassify and lay off civil servants.
Yeah, that’s my concern I’ve worked with the civil servants. They’re angry all the time but never do anything.
Surely there must be a few of them that arenot “angry and lazy”?
There must be at least a few that make the Government actually function?
I’m not saying they’re lazy I’m just saying they are not going to do anything about being angry.
Ah I get it. I misinterpreted your meaning.
To be fair, I wasn’t quite clear :)
Have you seen any backlash to date other than hand-wringing online?
To be honest, we’re JUST starting to see proper levels on social media now. It gives me hope that we’ll move, even it it’s at a glacial pace. Maybe we’ll protest once it gets warmer out…
