Federal Workers Organize Against Billionaire Power Grab
www.labornotes.org
The second Trump administration has the federal workforce in its crosshairs. Spearheading the effort is Elon Musk (the richest man in the world) and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (not actually a government department). Trump and Musk have taken a shotgun-blast approach: instituting a hiring freeze, shutting down whole agencies, telling workers to stop coming in, offering buyouts to 2 million workers, ordering remote workers back to the office in violation of union contracts, and mass-firing workers still in their probationary periods.

    Musk is going to lose a lot of legal cases as he gets older and less powerful.

    I find myself hoping that part of his sentence is to spend weeks doing all of the jobs he’s unable to take seriously - and that it gets televised.

    The government must continuously justify its existence to the people.

    If it is not useful, abolish it. Who needs a government? The people can govern themselves.

    Demand that the government works for you, the people, or threaten to secede.

    A CEO of three companies and “head of a government agency”, the most useless person ever. All CEOs should be fire…out of a cannon into a wood chipper.
