The Guardian’s Labor Reporter Steven Greenhouse has penned an interesting Labor Perspective that just appeared in that publication. In part, it reads: In an era when many Workers are demanding respect, (President Donald) Trump keeps showing disrespect toward the country’s 2.3 million Federal Workers. He and (Billionaire Elon) Musk have cavalierly fired over 50,000 Federal Employees, ignoring contractual protections saying they could only be terminated for poor performance. Then Trump blamed the victims, saying, without evidence: “Many of them don’t work at all. Many of them never showed up to work.” Trump views Federal Employees not as dedicated Workers who serve the Nation’s 340 million people, but as deplorables who work for the detested Deep State. Not stopping there, Trump has named several vehemently Anti-Union figures to be his right-hand men. Russell Vought, head of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, has shown true sadism toward Workers. “We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video disclosed by ProPublica and the research group Documented. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want to put them in trauma.” Would anyone who cared an iota about Workers name such a callous, Anti-Worker person to a top position?
