Federal employees are the canary in the coal mine for all other workers here in the US. Union and non-union. Look at how Elon treated Twitter employees and now federal workers. It’s coming to your employer next. #unionstrong #afgestrong #supportfederalemployees

Did you read the article you posted?

benusa.bsky.social•3 days ago

I did, and that's why I'm asking.

Then you know that the answer is because they don't want to lose their jobs and be banned from federal employment for life.

If every person in all those agencies went on strike on the same day, do you think they can just fill those jobs up overnight? That's where the power lies. Don't take it from me, I was only a union rep for 6 years. They should ALL strike together, same day, all of them.

They will fire enough of them to do real damage, not just to the agencies, but to the employees. Not everyone can afford to go without a paycheck.

You would not make a good union employee, at all.

You sacrifice in the short term to gain in the long term.

How long do you think they can function without them if they ALL went on strike at the SAME TIME?

About three minutes.

Not if the law is subsequently changed.

pinktweets.bsky.social•2 days ago

And how do you imagine that will happen?

Yeah time to strike to rid the law against striking.
