From the best: Federal Unions’ Poison Privilege
More From Post Editorial Board
“Public sector unions have long been an affront to democratic accountability at all levels of government,” so “President Donald Trump’s executive order issued Thursday ending collective bargaining privileges for most federal agencies brings welcome focus to the issue,” cheers the Washington Examiner’s editorial board. “When government workers are given collective bargaining power, an equal and opposite amount of power has been taken away from voters.” Notably, “Trump wants to scrap” Eleventh-hour Biden offers with unions to let federal employees “continue to work remotely.” Trump’s new order will probably be fought in a number of courtroom circumstances, and he “will not win them all.” Fact is, “Congress should work with the White House to remove the collective bargaining powers of all federal government employees.”
