Court Delivers Big Blow To Government Unions

Congress should have never allowed federal employees to unionize. It’s the reason that federal workers are paid salaries and benefits about 30% more than comparably skilled private workers.

It’s also why it’s been near-impossible to fire even the most incompetent federal bureaucrats.

Trump is finally changing all those rules. He’s been laying off thousands of unnecessary government workers and has challenged the collective bargaining arrangements of nearly 75% of federal employees, according to the National Right To Work Foundation.

Predictably, six (!) federal employee unions sued to make him stop.

So this Newsmax headline brought joy to our hearts:

A Ninth Circuit appeals court panel lifted a judge’s prior order to prevent Trump’s administration from allowing hundreds of thousands of federal workers from engaging in union bargaining with federal agencies.

This case could be headed to the Supreme Court, where we hope these collective bargaining agreements are ended altogether. We can’t have politicians negotiating with the very labor bosses who elected them in the first place.
