General Strike, a very real possibility

[charwin95]

General Strike Law and Legal Definition:

General Strike is a strike by a majority of the workers in key industries throughout a country in a particular region of the country. ... In particular, a general strike involves virtually every union regardless of industry or occupation.

Since Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers the GOP has focused on weakening labor unions and in recent times used the euphemism right to work, for busting unions.

Enough is enough: Trump's callous disregard for the American Worker has come full circle, as Federal Employees are cast aside by his actions to shut down government. Not only will they have bills they cannot pay, the private sector too will soon be closing the doors of retail businesses as Federal Buildings remain empty.

Trump will lose this battle, but too many innocent victims will suffer his ego driven crisis.

If government workers strike that would be the best thing for our country, because then Trump could IMMEDIATELY fire them for refusing to return to work, just as Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.

Of course we realize that being mentally ill wastrels, liberals would sue but it wouldn't matter, it's plainly obvious that the President can sue federal civil service employees outright if they refuse to go to work.

Very funny Very funny.

Right now at this second. There are hundreds of openings in this administration that they can’t fill because ........ either no one wants to apply or they don’t want to work with this moron.

If this Moron fires these workers....... this country will be crippled. But go ahead. Do you know how long it will take to train air traffic controllers?

When Reagan fired air traffic controllers the economy, populations, number of air traffic controllers and airports, number of people travels in 1981 Is far higher in numbers today 2019.

What makes you think these people will go out on strike in 2019? They saw what happened in 1981, and might not want the same fate. It isn't like liberals will hire them if they get fired

Relax, Chuck and Nancy will wake up and smell the coffee and agree to bend a knee to the Trumpster, sooner rather than later.

They will realize that their obstruction to Border Security is a non-starter in pretty short order.

BTW, federal employees aren't allowed to strike. If they were to do as you suggest, they are fired, no questions asked.

Trump is in bigger trouble than you think. Lots of people are very angry. If this drag on till February lots of people will get HUNGRY.

Federal Employees Sue Trump Administration Over Government Shutdown

The Federal Employees should really be suing Chuck and Nancy. They haven't produced a signable budget bill which includes the money needed for border security. President Trump has made it clear to both of them that anything else is a non-starter

Why? Both don’t have the authority to shut the government.

Are you confused?

No matter how you slice your pizza. Trump caused all these chaos and discombobulations like his administration.

Nope they already submitted a bipartisan bill to keep the government open while negotiating the wall at the same time.......... but your Boi rejected it.

Schumer and Pelosi will bring that up after Trump made his fake emergency border wall speech.

Remember who is the president in charge. It’s not Pelosi or Schumer.

Continuing to negotiate without any pressure on Chuck and Nancy seemed pointless to The Donald. I agree. The libs are against border security, and will fight it with every fiber of their beings. The partial government shutdown is the only way to put pressure on them to bring this to a conclusion.

And the pressure on partial shutdown lie on the POTUS.
Not on the senators.

President Trump has made it clear, he is prepared to last years in this standoff. He isn't going to capitulate. BTW, the President is willing to cut some slack on the DACA dreamers that Chuck and Nancy say they are concerned about.

2. Are you saying our borders are overwhelmed?


I don’t see it on Fox News and CNN.

The GDP is over 4% and unemployment is at a historic record low. Obama predicted the end of factory unions when he said "factory jobs are gone forever" but President Trump brought factory jobs back. Why in the world would any sane American call for a "general strike"? Is it yet another left wing fantasy?

No one can control the border- have you not seen the mobs and caravans seeking to breach the frontier? Did you know that all of those people have found a loophole to get into the country? If they can make it on US territory, they can make a claim for bullshit "refugee status", get a court date two years from now and disappear into the US interior. MS13 members, human traffickers, etc. Trump is going down to the border later this week. He may well have to close it

It's not going to happen the way you think.

Time will tell. Some Federal Workers are calling in sick. Others, such as those Federal Guards at Federal Prisons are working and not being paid. Likely this violates a rule, regulation or law - clearly it is immoral.

Soon enough, if not already, those who attend church and once put their cash into the basket can not afford to donate to the needy, since they have become needy.

The Priests, Pastors and Rabbis have bills to pay too. And they too have a bully pulpit.

They will get all back pay owed to them.

You're not very bright, or too biased to give a damn & consider all of the consquences: Miss a car payment, miss a home payment, miss a due date on the credit card? All have a costs associated with missing a due date; one or more penalties for late payments also include a big dip in the consumer's credit score.

Relax Francis, no government employee has missed a paycheck yet. My wife got paid on De 31, and isn't scheduled to be paid again until Jan 14

What do you think will happen when the eagle doesn't poop in the 14th?

I think what will happen is what always happens. People in America get laid off all the time. They get their unemployment comp and move on.

Trump is riding a wave he did not create

~S~

Apparently you missed ultraliberal sage Paul Krugman on Election Night , 2016- promising depression for all eternity based on Trump's election. At that point in time , Dow Futures were down by thousands.

And Trump turned it around, in spite of the bad mojo given to him by the libs.

What exactly has Trump done to get your praise? What policy, what action has he taken to turn around something that did not happen?

In fact the recovery began in Sept. 09, and was fully in recovery in terms of Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate and Employment by the time Trump took the oath of office in Jan. '19.

There's folks here that'll post pages of Trump's accomplishments Wry , but the devil is in the details of them all, always some catch ,always the fine print ......99% of it is feel good legislation ,almost all of it will come back to haunt us.

I say this because i watched Reagan intently , and realize Trump is his ill spoken protege (love or hate RR,he was a phenomenal speaker) , almost everyting he is engaged in is from a 1%er trickle down view

the savvy posters here parse it all out better than i could ever do

It's deja voo doo politics for me ,and a lot like me that lived /worked/ mortgaged/saved/ raised fam's /planned retirements back in the day

I get it, and i'm nothing but a redneck bluecollar living in dogpatch w/ zero ejocashun and a pabst blue ribbon dinner menu

~S~

Do you remember Carter? The malaise? The 13,14, or 15% interest rates?

And Reagan was the problem?

And this is why public sector employees should not be allowed to be in unions.

Civil service protection, or Unions, not both.

what civil service protections?...

Perspective | Federal employee civil service protections outdated? The experts speak.

At the State level the most famous examples are the NYCBOE "rubber rooms" where teachers accused of various naughty things sit for months or years waiting for a hearing.

Every federal worker's bank will give them loans. Your argument falls flat. Give it up and give us the Wall that 81% Americans want.

That's odd, my claim is 78.34% of the American Citizens views Trump's wall as silly ego desire, and not capable of keeping them safe.

I think you should ask her. I think you will be surprised at her answer.

Go to usajobs.gov and look at any federal position listed. The words "civil service" do not appear anywhere. The term "civil service" is simply an anachronism. What you remember from the days of the civil service exams has gone by the wayside decades ago.
