🚨"The worst thing that the fed govt has done to labor in my lifetime: Trump signed an EO saying that the govt will no longer recognize & bargain with a huge portion of the unions that rep fed WKRs: VA, St Dept, DOE, EPA, TSY, DOJ... To justify the move -said: agencies are involved in -FICTION.

There're >1M union members working in the fed govt, EO: targets most of them. They don’t give a fuck. This isn't about law. This is about power."

@KimPerales And the EO can't be enforced. It takes an act of Congress, as far as I know, to end collective bargaining.

@KimPerales I wonder how the teamsters and steelworkers are feeling right now? Embarrassed for being played for fools?

@KimPerales This will end badly for them. You cannot alienate the entire country and expect to survive.
