Bummer: EPA Ends Contract With Unionized Employees

Good. For the most part these white collar federal employees should not have a union. What are they being protected from? Oh, right, it’s about government negotiating with government to give more taxpayer money to government employees

Trump’s environment agency terminates contract with unionized employees

electric vehicleThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved to end its contract with unionized employees, according to the union’s president, the latest action in President Donald Trump’s push to weaken collective bargaining across the federal government.

The union, which represents 8,000 EPA employees, is planning a legal response to the decision, said Justin Chen, president of the agency’s chapter of the American Federation of Government Employees, in a statement on Friday.

The decision gets Trump closer to his goal to strip hundreds of thousands of federal workers of the ability to collectively bargain with U.S. agencies. Eliminating union deals would allow agencies to more easily fire or discipline employees, according to attorneys representing federal workers.

“EPA is working to diligently implement President Trump’s Executive Orders with respect to AFGE, including ‘Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs’, in compliance with the law,” an EPA spokesperson said in a statement, referring to the executive order Trump issued in March.

The order involves removing collective bargaining rights at more than 30 federal agencies, including the EPA, and is currently being challenged in court by unions who say it violates free speech and obligations to bargain with workers.

These are public employees. There is no right to bargain. They work at the mercy of the taxpayers. They should earn raises based on performance. If they do not like this, go work in the private sector.

    Is this really the hill that Mr teach wants to die on? The extinction of the working class.

    Conservatives and MAGAts hate labor unions because their existence interferes with the ability of business owners to minimize their labor costs.

    Labor unions are able to negotiate better pay and working conditions with management.

    Why do conservatives hate the working class?

  2. Rick T says:

    These unions are for white collar professional-class employees working for an employer with no profit incentive, EPD. Employees who gleefully destroyed American industries enforcing unscientific dicta like CO2 being a pollutant.

    Not being able to see the difference is sad.

    Trump loves the working class, that is why they are voting for him and not the Ds.

    Government labor unions are not just about benefits to government employees. It is just another way that the democratic party funds itself. Democrats “negotiate” with union reps and give them lavish benefits, the unions then skim a bit from each employee. Then the unions give campaign donations to the Democrats office holders as well as people to work on their campaigns. No one questions all those people wearing union t-shirts at anti-Trump protests, instead of being at work.
