The Trump Administration’s canceling of Collective Bargaining Rights for over 1.3 million Government Workers is the biggest act of Union-Busting in U.S. History.

It’s a shot across the bow of the entire Labor Movement.

In fact, it’s a declaration of open Class War on the entire Working Class. 

How else can the rounding up of Migrant Workers and their families, the deployment of troops in our cities and the firing of tens of thousands of Federal Workers be described?

For now, their prime targets are the Public Sector, Civil Service and Federal Worker Unions - but make no mistake, Workers in the Private Sector are next.

And let’s be clear: The attack is going to especially impact Workers of Color and Women.

It’s not the first time a U.S. President has busted Unions.

Ronald Reagan fired and broke the strike of the Air Traffic Controllers (PATCO) in 1981, giving a green-light to Private Sector bosses that they could openly and aggressively bust our Unions, force deep concessions and impoverish our communities.

But what Reagan did in 1981 pales in comparison to the open, frontal assault on our Trade Unions and Worker protections that characterizes the Trump Administration.

It is now estimated that 84% of Public and Civil Service Workers have lost their right to collectively bargain due to Trump’s Executive Orders.

Consider Reagan’s brazen act of Union-Busting set the stage for a decades-long assault on the Working Class.

Its aftermath resulted in the so-called Free Trade policies that, along with new technologies, resulted in more than 60 million Workers being displaced from their jobs in basic industry.

Union Density has now plummeted to below 10% as of this year.

It’s less than 5% in the Private Sector where the overwhelming majority of people work.

Workers everywhere should take notice.

This is just the beginning and no section of our class will be spared.
