My take on Biden WH Workers Plan to Strike

Although I tend to shy away from televised news “political” hit jobs, one of the benefits of working out at my local gym is that I get to see the headlines while treading on the mill. This morning a prominent story making the rounds was that hundreds of Biden White House workers are planning on striking over Biden’s support of Israel policy.

Now this may sound callous but that is a most effective way of “cleaning” out WH workers who are more worried over policy than their federal employment. It would seem that getting caught up in the “strike” crowd is going to have some pretty serious consequences.

(Debra D’Angostino’s “Why Feds Don’t Strike” 1-19-2019

“It’s the law. Specifically, 5 U.S.C. §7311, specifies that federal employees may not participate in a strike, assert the right to strike, or even belong to a union that “asserts the right to strike against the government of the United States.” Driving the point home, 18 U.S.C. §1918 makes it a felony to strike against the United States or belong to a union that asserts the right to strike against the United States. What’s more, the Office of Personnel Management can declare an individual who participates in a strike unsuitable for federal employment – Forever.”

I would hope that the Biden DOJ would take serious action to insure that EVERY possible measure is taken against those who even consider striking.

But then in reality it’s the Biden administration that has a habit of ignoring reality. – RTM
