It’s taken many years too lengthy, however Republicans have lastly launched a invoice that will successfully eliminate federal “labor unions.”
The Federal Workforce Freedom Act “would prohibit federal workers from organizing or becoming a member of labor unions in an effort to collectively discount, in addition to forbid federal companies from collaborating in collective bargaining negotiations with labor unions representing federal staff.”
After all, such a “radical” but easy and obligatory thought might have solely come from one of some sources, and it did – the nice Senator Mike Lee of Utah – in partnership with Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.
Whilst you’re apt to listen to all method of bellyaching about “staff” and “honest wages” and “rights” and so forth, the very notion of a authorities union is preposterous and needs to be promptly made unlawful.

Ban Authorities “Unions”
The very notion of a authorities union is absurd and preposterous, and by no means ought to have been authorized within the first place.
It may be deconstructed very merely and simply.
The entire level of a union is to create an antagonistic relationship between the 2 events – Employees and the Firm – to ensure that Employees to extract concessions. The negotiating desk has Employees on one facet, the Firm on the opposite, and it’s all moderated by the Authorities.
With me to this point? Good.
The factor is, this solely works when the 2 events are completely different entities. In a authorities union, the negotiating desk is lopsided. Employees and the Firm (on this case, the Authorities) are each on the identical facet of the desk, once more moderated by the Authorities.
So who’s on the opposite facet? You, the taxpayer. Solely at this desk, the taxpayer has no say in any way. The Employees, Firm, and Moderator are all on the identical facet. Naturally, for those who negotiate with your self, you’re going to win.
As we’ve all seen, and which any rube can work out a priori with none empirical proof, is that the Authorities is all the time going to win when its “negotiating” with itself, has no revenue requirement that requires them to dwell in any kind of fiscal actuality, and has no opposition.
After all, then the Authorities Employees vote en masse for sure politicians who promise to provide them much more loot. The kicker is, these unions are due to this fact utilizing your tax {dollars} to marketing campaign for politicians to take extra of your cash for the good thing about the union. It’s a self-perpetuating system.
In different phrases: it’s an enormous rip-off. Pew Analysis stories that the common authorities wage is $106,382.
The common wage overall? $66,622.
It’s not rocket science. It’s simply corruption and stealing. Nothing extra.
