Federal Labor Unions To Protest
Labor unions want feds to dig up some bullhorns and banners to protest sequestration. The American Federation of Government Employees expects about 100 rallies to take place nationwide Tuesday. The group says it is targeting federal agencies and lawmakers' offices. They want Congress to repeal the budget cuts altogether. State employees' unions and other labor groups are participating. AFGE said it was worried about sequestration's trickle-down effect on local economies. Around here, the groups have planned protests outside the Labor Department and at Fort Meade, Md.

They can rally and protest and holler all they want - the money is running out. Period.
Wow, people can really be herded to slaughter these days! ONCE AGAIN, FOLKS! SEQUESTRATION LEAVES IN PLACA all THE SAME MONEY IN every BUDGET THAT WAS THERE LAST YEAR!!!!! iT JUST MEANS THERE ARE NO raises IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGETS!
gET IT YET?
It is odd how they are protesting the man they put into power. Or no wait, it's all the GOP's fault!!! lmao
All smoke and mirrors but it's scary whats really planned for the future.
The unions supported Obama and now they get what they deserve.
Unions.
We need a federal law that makes dues participation completely voluntary. Any and all public funds or resources directed to them stopped immediately.
Their scope limited to employer, employee relations.
NO UNION LOBBYING.
Why protest, you lazy freaks?! Go get a real job where you actually have to work for a living and you didn't get your job based on the color of your skin vs. the content of your mind. Truth hurts.
Give them credit. A lot of Government telecommuters will have to get up early to travel to these protests. They'll continue to do their "work" though from their smart phones.
