Summary
Donald Trump issued an executive order stripping collective bargaining rights from about 700,000 federal workers, citing a “national security” exemption in the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act.
The order targets unions at major departments, including Defense, Energy, and Veterans Affairs.
The American Federation of Government Employees and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees condemned the move as illegal and vowed legal action.
Union leaders accused the administration of undermining workers’ rights to benefit billionaire interests and called the decree the largest union-busting effort in U.S. history.

They don’t want the scabs either. A dysfunctional government is the goal. Then they will say, see it doesn’t work. And use that as an excuse to scrap more of our government.
It really puts the federal workers in a tight spot. They are getting shit poured on them from above, and they are like one of the last lines of defense from Trump. Trump et al wants them to leave, if not willingly then on the first occasion he can fire with cause.
That really sucks. They have no moves but to hold the line.

Sure something to consider, but they can’t just up and replace 3 million people with 3 million rando Trumpers that aren’t likely to quit their jobs and move to another state for that anyway.
I think a full federal workforce strike would be pretty effective.

Those people working at doge are practically ineligible for other jobs besides working for the gop only, no use in hiring a Nazi collaborator
