Trump ‘Trashes & Cancels ‘Federal Union Contracts As “Un-American”

Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports in another show of hate for Workers, especially Unionized Federal Workers, Republican President Donald Trump, masterminded by Union-hating multi-billionaire Elon Musk, declared he will trash all Union contracts in the Federal Government. Trump actually declared “collective bargaining runs counter to the American system of self-government.” He and Musk have said no such thing about corporate monopolization and the collective price gouging and fixing that goes along with it. The immediate prod to his ire were two pacts the predecessor Democratic Biden Administration signed with the American Federation of Government Employees’ (AFGE) Locals, one representing Social Security’s Workers and the other covering Education Department Workers. Trump wants to abolish the Department. The Social Security pact particularly peeved Trump because it included provisions legalizing tele-working and working from home from now through 2029. Trump and Musk want to pin all Workers to their desks. And if they don’t like it, they can quit, Trump declared, waving the memo. Trump told White House Pool Reporters assigned to the memo-signing. “Everybody is replaceable,” according to a White House pool report. “We’d love to have them leave. It’s our dream to have everyone work in the Private Sector.” Democratic President Joe “Biden let them get away with murder,” Trump charged. Trump means his order as another show of force to demonstrate he’s the ultimate dictator beyond his original “Day One” vow and has unlimited leeway in the White House to become a tyrant, just like the dictators he pals around with on the international stage.
