24 Sep Federal Workers are Fed Up

Posted at 16:05h in Solidarity, Trump Administration by

BCTGM International staff gathered outside the U.S. Capitol with Federal and DC government employees to protest the Trump administration’s war on federal workers.

AFGE, NFFE, NTEU, and IFPTE hosted the Day of Action to protest the Trump Administration’s efforts to undermine federal employee unions. “We’re taking to the streets because we’re fed up with baseless attacks on the American worker, fed up with retaliation against whistleblowers, fed up with bad-faith bargaining at the negotiating table, and fed up with the profit-over-people mentality of this anti-worker administration,” declared AFGE President J. David Cox.

Among the attacks by the Trump Administration are the unilateral replacement of union-negotiated contracts at the Veterans Administration, Department of Education, Social Security Administration and EPA by Trump appointees.

AFGE has filed court challenges that have so far stopped the Trump administration from enforcing three executive orders issued in May 2018, which would have greatly reduced the power of federal workers’ unions.
