Trump Just Made It Easier To Fire Bad Federal Employees

DC: President Donald Trump issued three executive orders Friday to prevent unions from protecting government employees who don’t perform in their jobs.

Critics say Trump is stripping unions of their power by changing how federal agencies approach collective bargaining agreements, but the administration says the goal is to protect taxpayers from overspending on labor.

“By holding poor performers accountable, reforming the use of taxpayer-funded union time, and focusing negotiations on issues that matter, we are advancing our efforts to elevate the federal workforce,” Jeff T.H. Pon, Director of the Office of Personnel Management, said.

Each of the three executive orders address a part of federal labor practices that conservatives have criticized for years.

  1. Public unions should have been outlawed entirely. Could have done it with this congress, too, if we didn’t have a lot of people who work against our interests.

  2. I think public union are the reason why people have such a negative view of unions. I’m an IBEW member and I have no sympathy for government workers. My company does contract work for NYC, city electricians are useless, they make as much as me, but are really nothing more then light bulb changers. So for any real work they have to call an outside contractor.

  3. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe JFKennedy started
    the idea of federal unions.

    Not anti union here, just want honest wages and workers.

    From the top tier to the ‘bottom’ tier.

    I’m not a civil service worker but my folks were!
