It’s taken many years too lengthy, however Republicans have lastly launched a invoice that will successfully do away with federal “labor unions.”
The Federal Workforce Freedom Act “would prohibit federal employees from organizing or joining labor unions in order to collectively bargain, as well as forbid federal agencies from participating in collective bargaining negotiations with labor unions representing federal workers.”
In fact, such a “radical” but easy and needed concept may have solely come from one of some sources, and it did – the good Senator Mike Lee of Utah – in partnership with Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.
When you’re apt to listen to all method of bellyaching about “workers” and “fair wages” and “rights” and so forth, the very notion of a authorities union is preposterous and ought 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 – Staff and the Firm – to ensure that Staff to extract concessions. The negotiating desk has Staff on one facet, the Firm on the opposite, and it’s all moderated by the Authorities.
With me to date? Good.
The factor is, this solely works when the 2 events are completely different entities. In a authorities union, the negotiating desk is lopsided. Staff 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 respect. The Staff, Firm, and Moderator are all on the identical facet. Naturally, if you happen to negotiate with your self, you’re going to win.
As we’ve all seen, and which any rube can determine 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 stay in any type of fiscal actuality, and has no opposition.
In fact, then the Authorities Staff vote en masse for sure politicians who promise to offer them much more loot. The kicker is, these unions are subsequently 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 studies that the common authorities wage is $106,382.
The common wage general? $66,622.
It’s not rocket science. It’s simply corruption and stealing. Nothing extra.
