Update on Trump executive orders attacking federal employees
On May 25, President Trump issued three executive orders designed to strip federal employee unions of long-established rights to workplace representation and to undermine their ability to negotiate collective bargaining agreement with their agencies. NALC posted the executive orders and requested a legal analysis from its outside attorneys. That analysis has concluded that the three executive orders do not apply to the Postal Service or its unions, a conclusion that was confirmed in writing by officials of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
NALC President Fredric Rolando issued the following statement on the executive orders:
“These executive orders are an outrageous attack on America’s civil servants, the everyday heroes who make sure that our airlines and foods are safe, our Social Security checks are distributed and the air, water and environment we depend on is clean. As my friend and fellow union brother J. David Cox Sr., the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said: ‘This is more than union busting – it is democracy busting. These executive orders are a direct assault on the legal rights and protections that Congress has specifically guaranteed to the 2 million public-sector employees across the country who work for the federal government.’ I totally agree. The NALC stands in solidarity with AFGE and all the federal unions and will work with them to reverse these executive orders.”
The people that think President Dump is so great what till the next recession. You can live very well without any income. And you sure won’t need any health care. Remember you can fend for yourself. When things get tough just hug your gun and pray. And don’t forget to have many children, because the tax payer is expected tp pay for education, recreation, transportation, and the many fun school activities. Why should the parents pay for the cost of their children when the tax payers can? The tax payer can even pay to create school arsenals. That way you can have children and guns. If your hero is sooo great, why was Trump University sued for fraud and had to pay $25 million? How much income was lost when Mr. wonderful filed for bankruptcy six times? As long as it doesn’t effect you, you don’t care! And as for the people that blame Rolando for the one percent increases just remember a word you never heard of – Arbitrator.
August 10, 2018 is D-Day for the bloated, over staffed postal mismanaging bureaucrats……..prepare yourself for Trumps beach landing. ROFLMFAO!!!! I feel its going to be bloody!!!!!!!
Hey sorry NALC . Fred Rolando and William Young did it for the ant-labor republicans already. By giving us horrible contracts 1% raises , and created help create the worst working conditions ever in the history of the post office. They already fired letter carriers for the most petty things . Hey Fred does this sound familiar letter carriers fired for accidentally leaving 3 letters in the hot case, or curbing the wheels the wrong direction. It is time to vote for the Clean Sweep in 2018.
President Dump is a beautiful President? So was Hitler, Stalin, Pinchot, and many other leaders. They only care about power.Their supporters in turn only care about themselves. After the school shootings Mr. wonderful says that the answer is to turn every school into an arsenal, paid for by the sucker tax payers! So much for your “big” tax cut. The local taxes will go up for the sake of the gun huggers. Mr. Wonderful wants to bring back health insurers right to deny coverage because of preconditions. Better hope your not ill. And for his supporters just think he wants to take away your S.S. supplement, Federal employees covered by FERS. President Dump supporters don’t need retirement, they have their UPS/FDX/AMZN stock. So they can fend for themselves. They also love Herbert Spencer, the one that came up with ” The survival of the fittest”. They also believe that everyone should pay their share of school taxes, they don’t want to pay for school tuition. Let the tax payer educate my children!
1st Amendment must be one of our affirmative action hired supervisors. Craft employees would not have enough time to type that garbage because we have actual work to do.
What?? Everybody got bent out of shape and it didn’t even apply to us? Shocking. Wake up people. Things don’t change the the P.O.. it’s all smoke and mirrors
talk about clueless and a pea brain……those who think the Postal Circus is on par with UPS/FDX/AMZN and they deserve a job for life no matter how many $Billions of dollars this dump loses every year are just plain retarded in the ways of the world. talk about having Napoleon complex of the worst degree. wake up and smell the coffee……Americans are voting with their feet and taking their business elsewhere……..more than just arrogant thinking people like you are owed a paycheck for life for piss poor service……the $$$$$ number do not lie, I do not know one company still in business after losing over $135 BILLION in 11 years. but you are owed a job. ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
60 million babies murdered since Roe vs Wade yet you slander the NRA. bet you think 2nd is about deer hunting, without the 2nd kiss all the others goodbye. just another dummy “paper boy” who never grew up or went to school on the “short bus”! keep drinking the Democrap Kool-Aid. don’t blame GOP because you never had a shot at Medical School in a million years! just enjoy your 1% raise the Dems feed you-even they know you’re not worth much. ward of the State, cradle to grave, useful idiot X 1000.
Well, at least the USPS will be left alone for now but it’s probably only because it’s self sufficient. Trump and the Republicans are trying to destroy the middle class and yet millions of people are not swayed in their admiration for this imbecilic tyrant.
Frankly I severely doubt even if these people lost their jobs as a direct action taken by Trump they’d never acknowledge it. For some, when they’re in so deep and realize somewhere in their little brains they’ve been targeted and screwed by Trump and their beloved GOP they can’t deal with admitting they were so easily fooled. Thus, they dig in, refuse to accept responsibility for their poor decisions, and hurt the best interests of their families because their foolish misplaced pride comes before being mature adults.
Admitting mistakes is not a sign of weakness or responsibility – refusing to admitting to mistakes is weakness personified, along with irresponsibility and neglect. Mistakes and misjudgments teach us lessons we all need to learn. So those who absolutely refuse to wrongdoing also demonstrate they are incapable of learning any more than the lowest level of information they need just to survive a meager living.
Because the GOP is so criminal, so hate filled and loathes the average American to psychotic degrees while they simultaneously pander to the dimmest bulbs for votes and steal Presidential elections through the Electoral College and voter suppression a halfway intelligent person should know by now they are out to destroy all of us. For those who fall for this terrorist party that refuses to even discuss gun control thanks to that other domestic terrorist organization, the NRA, it is only fair they suffer the consequences. But innocent kids and adults are being slaughtered in the name of huge bribes by the NRA, which is also neck deep in Russian affairs with arms dealing. The GOP is their legislative puppet, and these monsters have no regard for human life, period. It’s their rich asses and their owners like the NRA.
When it gets to this point where people are dying because the majority Republicans refuse to do anything about these massacres, they must go. We know we can’t expect the Trump crowd to act in the best interest of their families, but the rest of us shouldn’t have to suffer at the hands of the terrorists and idiots. Register to vote now, and do not stay home this November. We need every single person who can vote against the GOP out in force if we ever hope to get any shot of replacing them with lawmakers who hopefully will do something about the GOP, Trump and the terrible direction they have taken this country.
Nice diatribe. You got all the Liberal talking points in. Good job. If you are in management, get ready for a RIF in Sept. 2018.
Holy smokes. There are so many falsehoods in this post I doubt I can address them all.
1) “Trump and the Republicans are trying to destroy the middle class..”
In fact, its’ the Republicans who gave the middle class a tax cut and, via cutting taxes on business, MANY middle class people got raises and bonuses because of the legislation that not a single Dem voted for.
They also helped out some of the middle class by eliminating the individual mandate of the ACA. I know that after I got out of the military, I didn’t have a job that provided health care but I didn’t care. I was healthy and willing to take a chance that nothing catastrophic would happen. Guess what? Like the vast majority of people, nothing bad happened. I’m fine and didn’t see a doctor for around 20 years. I would have wasted a LOT of money if I had been forced by the Federal Government to buy health insurance.
You talk about people losing jobs under Trump. You obviously haven’t seen the unemployment numbers. Record low unemployment and, in fact, there are as many job openings as there are folks unemployed.
You wrote “refusing to admitting to mistakes is weakness personified…”
I am sure you mean like Hillary blames everyone but herself.
Later, you wrote ” ….steal Presidential elections through the Electoral College…”
Actually, the electoral college worked EXACTLY as it was intended. It prevents large states from making the smaller ones inconsequential. Hillary won by approx. 5 million votes. If you remove the vote differentials she got from California and NY City, Trump won. Thus the tyranny of the high population states and cities was prevented, just as the Founders intended.
You also mention gun control. Please tell me ONE new law that would have prevented any shooting in this country. And, to head you off at the pass, unless you plan to pass a new Amendment, banning is unconstitutional according to the Supreme Court. Look how many (and strict) gun laws Chicago, D.C., Baltimore, L.A. all have. Those laws don’t stop the shooters. What law would you want passed that would make a difference?
You rail against the NRA. You DO know it’s the oldest civil rights organization in the country, right? And, you know that they helped to arm the blacks in the South to help protect them from the KKK, right? And, you know that the NRA doesn’t sell guns, right? Never have. They advocate for gun safety and gun rights. They also give FAR fewer dollars to political entities than most major unions.
Fact: In 2016, the NRA donated a total of $50.2 million to political causes. That same year, unions donated $167 million (not including individual members’ donations). And, you guessed it. The NRA donations went to Republicans and the union money went to Democrats. So, just who is beholden to whom based upon those amounts?
In closing, you’re not gonna like my prediction. Trump will be re-elected. The economy is great and folks, who were told how bad things would be if he were elected, are seeing the truth. They are asking themselves why the Democrats, who always profess to look out for the little guy, did NOTHING to help them and meanwhile their lives are better with Trump as President.
Seriously! Do you honestly think that this moron cares one bit about the PO. He has called us old and antiquated. There is nothing here to make him look good to his base unless your talking about those in his base just hate all government. Remember this is all of this country’s service. You the public and industry keep us alive. Remember it was congress that tried to defund and destroy us with its unfair prefunding of retirees in 2006. This guy doesn’t read anything. He doesn’t care about fairness or efficiency. He cares about his his brand and how much money he can get from this sham presidency. It’s people like you that don’t realize how important our democracy is and how under attack it is from enemies foreign and domestic as we speak. Wharton college give me a break!
Kim Jung Um was putty in President Trump’s hands…………to all you Trump haters August 10. 2018 is coming up fast. do you really think the dummies who have run the Postal Circus into the ground are going to pull one over on him? Postal Circus’s finances have been a mess for over 30 years….President Trump has an MBA in Finance from the Wharton School of Business……..going to get interesting real fast. with UPS/FDX/AMZN operating at a gold standard, why does the American public need a broken down, corrupt, third rate govt agency to screw them! just read this web page, theft, delayed mail, broken down rusty vehicles, PFP bonus money for losing $135 Billion since 2007, Bureaucrats without college degrees, 75 PO Vice Presidents without MBA’s the list goes on and on, failure is their job #1…….its just a hot mess. the boil needs to be lanced-Trump is the one to do it!
