Here is what is happening: First they are coming for the federal unions—the lowest hanging fruit, the most bureaucratic unions, the ones barred from striking. Then they will proceed to come for all public sector unions. Then they will come for private sector unions. Understand that the transparently bullshit nature of the justification for this move— “Uh, everything is national security, therefore #Trump is king over you”—

for those wondering about #Wisconsin, two words: #LABOR #UNIONS

here’s tangential mini-thread i wrote about how Wisconsin was one of the big stories of 2011 during the #ArabSpring and how without Winconsin’s #Walkerville, there would have never been a #Bloombergville nor an #OccupyWallStreet.

and wanna give a special shout out to Wisconsin’s teachers’ unions; who relentlessly took on the Koch brothers and won.

"History will judge societies, govts & insts: by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor & the helpless."

CS King: “César Chávez isn't an accident; he's a genius of his ppl, & their farm WKRs union -hero union. When you've succeeded in making your lives more secure & richer -whole nation will benefit. That's why your struggle has deeper dimensions than a strike for wages. You're demanding a place in the halls of man -no lowly ppl -only ppl who're forced down.”

Trump’s EO applies to depts & agencies that employ 67% of fed employees & to 75% of unionized fed WKRs. ~1/3: fed WKRs: vets.

Largest Fed union: “fighting back” against ETrump - filing grievances to block Trump policies. VA’s unions have filed 70 nat & loc grievances over his policies —an aver >1/day.

It's explicit pol retaliation. WKRs at the VA -pushed back on ’s orders to reduce staffing🚨*svcs to vets in need of the HC svcs -VA provides.

It’s obviously clear to me why management aren’t allowed to join the union in the context of a private company, they’re a representative of capital. But I’m a little hazy on why unions would not want to be involved with public sector management. Is that not the goal for many, to have representatives of the workers be the interface with the rest of government? I’d love to read more about this if anyone’s into public sector #unions and has an article I could read. I’m mainly interested in UK/EU.
