6. You say federal unions are useless?

As a former federal employee and manager at my agency with 44 years service, I disagree that federal unions or assns. are toothless Unions negotiate our pay, our benefits, leave rules and conduct of employees and managers. I was a union rep for years and then I was in management for 22 years. I've seen it from both sides. As a worker I appreciated my union for improving work conditions, pay and as a manager I appreciated a set of rules to guide every manager in labor relations, pay and scheduling. Unions protect workers and management. Trump's plans to destroy our unions and make it easier to fire us, cut our pay, our leave (sick and annual), and at the same time he's attacking our retiree benefits that we worked so many years to gain, will not work. Federal workers can shut down the country is ways old dumpster can't fathom. Airports, transportation, SS payments, mail, customs and BP could all be shut down by us.
He's messing with the wrong people.
Trump by his actions, wants to destroy our country, cut SS and Medicare and give the rich another tax break which will benefit him, his family and all his rich supporters.

Trump is also working on destroying the OPM which handles all federal employees pay, admn, retirement and all the adm. work needed for federal agencies. This is totally insane. Who wants to worry if their pay arrives on time.
