General Strike, a very real possibility

[Wry Catcher]

And this is why public sector employees should not be allowed to be in unions.

Civil service protection, or Unions, not both.

Bigotry on display.

So FDR was a bigot?

It's supposed to be Civil SERVANT, not Civil NOBILITY.

Yup and if half of them disappeared tomorrow from our bloated Government, no one would notice.

Written by a biddable fool ^^^.

General Strike Law and Legal Definition:

General Strike is a strike by a majority of the workers in key industries throughout a country in a particular region of the country. ... In particular, a general strike involves virtually every union regardless of industry or occupation.

Since Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers the GOP has focused on weakening labor unions and in recent times used the euphemism right to work, for busting unions.

Enough is enough: Trump's callous disregard for the American Worker has come full circle, as Federal Employees are cast aside by his actions to shut down government. Not only will they have bills they cannot pay, the private sector too will soon be closing the doors of retail businesses as Federal Buildings remain empty.

Trump will lose this battle, but too many innocent victims will suffer his ego driven crisis.

It's not going to happen the way you think.

Time will tell. Some Federal Workers are calling in sick. Others, such as those Federal Guards at Federal Prisons are working and not being paid. Likely this violates a rule, regulation or law - clearly it is immoral.

Soon enough, if not already, those who attend church and once put their cash into the basket can not afford to donate to the needy, since they have become needy.

The Priests, Pastors and Rabbis have bills to pay too. And they too have a bully pulpit.

They will get all back pay owed to them.

You're not very bright, or too biased to give a damn & consider all of the consquences: Miss a car payment, miss a home payment, miss a due date on the credit card? All have a costs associated with missing a due date; one or more penalties for late payments also include a big dip in the consumer's credit score.

Then they should call their senator/congressperson and tell the dems to give Trump what he wants.

Did you call your Rep. and tell him/her to give Obama all he wanted?

the Air Traffic Controllers were foolish....and since that time we in the PO were told they are coming for us next.....the postal unions are still there....

yea because working in the govt means you never get fucked over by those real lovable managers they have...

I dispute your assumption that Federal Employees are American Workers. Except for truly essential services (military, courts)...they are parasites who feed on real American Workers.

In other news, manufacturing job growth for Real American Workers is soaring in the Trump Era.

i never fed on anyone....i went out there even in ******* pouring rain to deliver peoples mail,even though i would get yelled at because someones mail got wet...

Perspective | Federal employee civil service protections outdated? The experts speak.

At the State level the most famous examples are the NYCBOE "rubber rooms" where teachers accused of various naughty things sit for months or years waiting for a hearing.

Gov't employees haven't missed a single paycheck yet.

If government workers strike that would be the best thing for our country, because then Trump could IMMEDIATELY fire them for refusing to return to work, just as Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.

Of course we realize that being mentally ill wastrels, liberals would sue but it wouldn't matter, it's plainly obvious that the President can sue federal civil service employees outright if they refuse to go to work.

But nobody has to work without pay. Forcing someone to do so is a clear violation of the FLSA.

I don't agree with making them work with delayed paychecks either, but these stupid shut downs happen all the time, and these people never went on strike in the past, why is only now with the bad orange man in the White House that people who buy the way have not a of yet missed one paycheck are talking about striking?

If I were Trump , if they strike not only would fire them if they refused an order to return to work, I would prosecute them for violating the Hatch Act, because it is plainly obvious that this is a political statement.

The Feds spend $4T per year. The Dems are holding a small ratio of Federal Employees hostage for a mere $5.6B.

Trump can get a lot of mileage from that...as well as the fact that the shutdown has absolutely ZERO impact on those of us who pay all of the taxes to support this massive bloated monstrosity in the first place.

You truly are ignorant, and I'm beginning to suspect your ignorance is not willful. If you can, think about those taxpayers who you claim have not been inconvenienced by Trump's behavior.

How about that sandwich shop on the corner opposite a Federal Building which is usually full of customers from 1130 to 1330 every work day? How about the Bar & Grill usually crowded for lunch and at happy hour, the Coffee Shops, pastry shops, donuts and bagel purveyors all in walking distance to Fed. Workers?

How about Federal Employee who reside in the suburbs where they by goods and services, attend movies, two and three star restaurants, fast food and take out too.

With regards to OSHA its because the laws were written to exclude certain groups, like state workers, rail workers, and I believe federal workers.

Oh , did those federal workers stop eating lunch? Well most of them are fat ***** who need to lose a few pounds so see Trump is just looking out for their health.

How does the Hatch Act fit with sec. 7 & 8 of the National Labor and Relations Act?

"The NLRA makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of that employees union activities or affiliation. Also, employers cannot threaten or coerce employees for engaging in union activity nor can they make promises to employees in exchange for their not engaging in union activities. For other acts that violate the NLRA, click here."
