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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
