Largest federal workers union calls for an end to the shutdown, putting pressure on Democrats

[martybegan]

i can only speak for the place i worked the PO...the only ones who protected us from the people in middle management and the useless decisions they made was the Union.....OSHA....was pretty useless until they got pressured by the union or a congress person questioning their response to a safety concern....when i started in the PO it was like 90/10 democrats to republican....when i retired it was like 60/40.....trump may have ruined that by some of the shit he was saying about the PO during the elections...

The issues with the Unions come when politicians submit to salary and benefit demands to win over their votes then pass the actual costs down the line decades later.

They are tired of being used as political pawns

Tell Chucky to stop doing it, Trollwinger.


Proof Schumer is holding America hostage on a political stunt. CRs are for funding already negotiated and voted on programs, not new programs.

Since board Dimtards are avoiding my education thread like it's a job.............




Summary

The program activities of most federal agencies are generally funded on an annual basis through the enactment of regular appropriations acts. When those annual appropriations acts are not enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1), one or more continuing appropriations acts (commonly known as continuing resolutions or CRs) may be enacted to provide temporary funding to continue certain programs and activities until action on the regular appropriations acts is completed.

There are six main features of CRs.

First, CRs have provided funding for certain activities (coverage), which are typically specified with reference to the prior fiscal year's appropriations acts.

Second, CRs provide budget authority for a specified duration of time. This duration may be as short as a single day or as long as the remainder of the fiscal year.

Third, in recent practice, CRs have typically provided funds based on an overall funding rate rather than in specified amounts.

Fourth, the use of budget authority provided in the CR has been prohibited for new activities not funded in the previous fiscal year.

Fifth, the duration and amount of funds in the CR, and purposes for which they may be used for specified activities, may be adjusted through anomalies.

Sixth, legislative provisions—which create, amend, or extend other laws—have been included in some instances.

Sorry Skippy but a CR only gets you through the election

A real budget still needs to pass and Republicans lack the votes

Republicans need to stop being such pricks and leave people’s healthcare alone

Exactly, Simp. Schumer is trying to starve millions over a useless political stunt.

CRs aren't for pet projects borrowing money to buy shit for illegals.

Chucky needs to bring that up when the budget is being negotiated.

They are only doing what Dimwingers wrote into law and passed.

Why did your Cult write an end to the massive increased subsidies to keep Barrycare funded?

Let em die

Seems to be the plan of your Murder Cult, Trollwinger.

Why is Barrycare such a clusterfuck it needs massive subsidies every year? Barry said it would pay for itself.

Why are Barrycare costs skyrocketing? Barry said we would all save $2500 per year.

Why did Schumer put an end to the extra subsidies? Because he wants poor blacks to die.

Democrat popularity is reaching an all time low.

Maybe a lot of federal employees are going to flip to MAGA because of this shutdown. This is a good thing, having the entire federal government on the side of MAGA instead of resisting MAGA. How many potential voters will that be, 3 million? Its not long before Virginia is a solid red state. If Earle-Sears can pull out a victory it will will mark the beginning of the big flip.

I have asked repeatedly how do we pay for healthcare? Even if we end up with national health insurance, how are we going to pay for it. Obamacare costs have risen and risen and risen leaving taxpayers and private insurance plans paying the freight.
