Federal Workers plan walkout

Federal workers upset with Joe Biden's support of the war in Gaza plan to walk off the job. It will be interesting to see if they get fired for dereliction of duty.

These workers must decide if their allegiance is to the United States or to Palestinian protesters.

I doubt they can be fired since they're union. They should be fired, but probably won't.

Few things in this country are worse than the combining civil service protections with public sector unions.

Unions have lost public support in the 21st Century.

I don't believe federal workers have the right to protest.

I have no issue with private sector and trade unions, they are a necessary part of the economic system.

Public sector unions are going end up destroying good governance at multiple levels, due to the adversarial system inherent in the employer-employee negotiation system being non existent in the public sector.

They will be fired

Unauthorized strike…..see what Reagan did to walk outs

They have a right to protest but also the government would have a right to fire them.

That wasn't for a 1 day walkout, and the left still bitches about that.

It depends on the job they are doing.

Federal workers are not allowed to strike according to law/federal personnel policy. You may not be old enough to remember when federal air traffic controllers went on strike in the 1980s. Reagan fired every one of them and trained replacements. They had no appeal since they were clearly in violation of the law.

I don't believe any federal workers have dared pull a stunt like that since. I doubt Biden will do anything about a short term walk out though. Or more accurately I don't know if his deep state handlers will want to make that kind of waves this close to an election.

While off duty meaning they can't walk off the job.

Less restricted" employees, including most career employees in the executive branch, are able to participate actively in political management or partisan political campaigns, while off-duty, outside a federal facility and not using federal property.

They have not been fired for being derelicts so why fire them for dereliction of duty?

Now Biden's own hand picked employees are defying him.

Comedy Gold!

He has the authority to fire them.

Good riddance.

Most of those agencies should be abolished anyway.
