AFGE blasts FLRA’s latest union-busting move

Calling it “just another step toward the administration’s goal of busting unions,” the American Federation of Government Employees – the largest federal union – last week blasted the Federal Labor Relations Authority’s recent decision regarding union-dues deductions. The union said the decision will make it “even harder for rank-and-file federal employees to speak up, defend their rights, and serve the American people” adding that “It’s part of a pattern of behavior by this administration that shows no respect for federal employees’ voluntary choice, their union contracts, or their rights under the law.” “They may try to silence us,” AFGE National Secretary-Treasurer Everett Kelley said, “but they can never stop organized federal employees from standing up and speaking out for a better life for their families and the public we serve.”
