It is clear that federal workers do not like government closure. Most of them are leave. Others are forced to continue working without pay. But in a letter addressed to the members of the Senate, which I obtained, Everet B. Kelly, the president of what I think is the largest federal government union in the country-the American Union of Government Employees (AFGE)-Senate members are asked to vote “no” on a continuous decision in the House of Representatives, and says that the already preferred suspension to pass the bill.
“AFGE is especially shocked by the fact that even as the Senate is ready to discuss and vote on [the continuing resolution]The Trump administration has announced its intention to destroy the Ministry of Education effectively regardless of whether Congress agrees or rejects this decision. ”She also says they categorically reject the idea that voting against C me means voting to close. Then they continue to discuss that the administration unilaterally canceled the collective negotiation agreement with TSA workers and the agency announced“ union -free. ”
This paragraph emerged for me …
In any case, there are a lot of details in a message that runs more than two pages. But I thought this was simply interesting because it really says something if the people who get the biggest blow from the closure, the federal workers – or at least the largest union representing them – say it is better to risk closing it from voting on this law.
