Trump Just Eliminated Unions At This Key Federal Agency
www.huffpost.com
Union leaders have warned such a move would diminish working conditions and threaten safety at an agency infamous for low morale.

Summary

Trump is revoking collective bargaining rights at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), ending union protections for thousands of airport security officers.

The Department of Homeland Security claims the move will improve efficiency and security, but unions argue it is a retaliatory attack on federal workers.

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) plans to challenge the decision. TSA workers fear the rollback will worsen working conditions and retention.

The policy reverses union rights granted under Obama and expanded by Biden.

    How has he been given or taken this much power?

    Well.

    One of Congress’ jobs is to reign in the power of the president and make sure the branches of government are balanced.

    Congress is controlled by Republicans.

    Republicans are spineless cowards.

    They’ve given up their Congressional powers to their felon rapist traitor daddy.

    You are literally witnessing the collapse of the U.S. federal government to an authoritarian. Because it can, in fact, happen here.
