The Trump administration announced that it will be terminating the contracts of hundreds of thousands of VA employees in a blatant act of union busting.
There is absolutely no reason why one evil man should have control of the American people.. If Congress came together and told him no, he would back off. He continues his reign of terror because nobody is in charge, and they don't seem to realize that if they all stood together and kept telling him no, he would back off. What are they so afraid of??? Is he going on a killing spree if you say no to him? I don't think so. It's time for a standoff.
When are veterans' groups going to wake up and realize POS and his administration doesn't give a damn about them? How many of them sat out the election because Biden followed 45's plan for getting out of Afghanistan? They need to own up and start fighting back.
Another sign of what donnydimwit thinks of workers and veterans, that we are scum for him to step on.
Union busting is in the DNA of the rethugnicons . Trump’s starting with the VA to union bust speaks loudly to what he thinks of those of us who served. We shouldn’t expect anything from congress either because at some level they are looking to cut veterans benefits and Johnson will capitulate to the Mr. Bonespurs.
I am concerned that there is language in the now “law” big awful bill that gives the president the authority to terminate federal employee’s unions for no legitimate or legal reason, except the claim that they harbor bad, underperforming, incompetent or corrupt employees. What surely follows is the termination of all the federal employees who are members of these unions, using the same rationale that they are underperforming employees, etc., not just the federal employees at the Veterans Administration. We are on the expressway to hell.
This can't happen. I belonged to an international union for 35 years. Our contracts were in effect for 2 to 3 years. Both parties are bound by articles and exact verbage in the contract. The union can't go on strike unless the company decides they no longer want to follow the current contract. Trump has to be stopped. We're going to see a lot more marches from unions nationwide to protest this illegal act by Trump.
Striking and demonstrations are good calls. We must show those idiots in Congress and Mr Bonespurs we take this serious!! I have many friends that depend on VA care. We need to protect them!!
Trump continues his grudge against people he calls losers and suckers. He has no respect for our active duty soldiers and even less respect for our veterans.
We owe our veterans the services promised to them when they took an oath to protect the citizens of our country. It's shameful that Trump’s latest step against the VA Administration will harm veterans.
dt has no impulse control, is incapable of thinking before he acts, has no concept of actual outcome. He and doge have fired thousands of people, all on a fast dime, abruptly closing programs and instantly dropping employees and their families into peril and trauma. He is surprised that many of these people apply for unemployment (his worst fear of getting paid for not working, and what this is supposed to fix) and also now have more time to resist. Now, he does not realize that his attempt to rid the VA of unions, and of experienced staff, will cost the health of many, and the government a great deal to manage the outcome, and the very unfavorable media coverage. Veterans Matter. They will come for you, dt.
None of this will stop until those who aid and abet the Wannabe King stand up and say "no more!". The only problem is they are just as bad or worse than he is.
How is this even remotely legal? How can he unilaterally cancel union contracts? I hope the unions are in court tomorrow to stop this insanity.
It is not legal, Linda, but as usual with this administration, they will act first, then make the unions sue them to get the law enforced.---Jason
Sigh. Of course you are correct. I am so sick of this.
TRUMP IS A DICTATOR and needs to DIE. Save America, destroy Trump
He is certainly trying. ---Jason
