Summary
Donald Trump issued an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from about 700,000 federal workers, citing a “national security” exemption in the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act.
The order targets unions at major departments, including Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees condemned the move as illegal and vowed legal action.
Union leaders accused the administration of undermining workers’ rights to benefit billionaire interests and called the decree the largest union-busting effort in U.S. history.
I mean, so, he wants a general strike?
I assume then Putin wants a general strike.
No, he wants to pull a Reagan part 2 and fire any government worker who goes on strike. Trump has an army of loyalists willing to do whatever he says, who would be more than happy to scab any strike to inefficacy. Even if they’re terrible at the job, all that matters is that they’re loyal.
They don’t want the scabs either. A dysfunctional government is the goal. Then they will say, see it doesn’t work. And use that as an excuse to scrap more of our government.
True, another valid point.
Putin gives approval for trump to order nuclear strike on Americans
