Resistance from within: Federal workers push back against Trump

[longknife]

They're attending seminars and workshops on how to get away with dissent. What can the president do about it? Many are career civil servants who are almost impossible to fire.

The signs of popular dissent from President Trump’s opening volley of actions have been plain to see on the nation’s streets, at airports in the aftermath of his refugee and visa ban, and in the blizzard of outrage on social media. But there’s another level of resistance to the new president that is less visible and potentially more troublesome to the administration: a growing wave of opposition from the federal workers charged with implementing any new president’s agenda.

Scott Pruitt hasn’t even been confirmed and EPA employees are already protesting

One only has to look at the professionally produced signs to ask where the $ came from to prepare them. Is this just another Soros-funded sham? Or is it a sign that EPA hacks know their jobs are on the line?

Roughly 300 people — a third of whom work for the agency— took to the street Monday outside the agency’s Chicago regional office. Both staff, represented by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), and managers attended the rally, which took place during their lunch breaks, organizers said.

Fire their whining asses. Walk off the job to pout? Fucking babies. Time for public sector employees to pull their heads out of their asses. The NLRB is now run by us.

It's not about firing federal workers. It's about draining the swamp by eliminating or downsizing useless and often redundant federal bureaucracies

"Many are career civil servants who are almost impossible to fire."

Why are they almost impossible to fire? Is this to do with their Union Bedwetting if they get fired?

President Trump should just take the bull by the horns and deal with them like the great American Patriot and President Ronald Reagan would have.

They tried that shit with Reagan and he fired them all.

I thought so, I thought Ronald Reagan did something like that.

The air traffic controllers went out on strike. Reagan ordered them back to work and when they refused he fired their ass. They never did get their jobs back Reagan replaced them.

It IS about firing disobedient employees. No company would put up with this bullshit so why should taxpayers?

Well then President Trump needs to do with this crowd what President Reagan did with those air traffic controllers.

Longknife, why do you think they are protesting? What do you suppose is in Pruitt's record that is so objectionable to the people working at EPA? Surely they all know this admin's habit of retributions for non-compliance. So what causes them to jeopardize their jobs to make this statement. You show a headline stating he hasn't even been confirmed. Could this be an effort at the ounce of prevention instead of waiting for the pound of cure in removing an unsatisfactory exec indifferent to the needs of environmental protections...one that has a lawsuit against the EPA?

Maybe it's because they care about their work and Trump puts in people who actively want to destroy their agencies .

Imagine you work for doe and your new leader wants to destroy public schools !?

It looks like the average age at the EPA is dead.

Insubordination is an easy offense to fire someone.

Little different. Striking vs refusing to adapt to a new agenda. Get in, or get out. Warning to the young stupid kids.

It was so enjoyable to watch them get fired..

The goal is sabotage! That's good. Hard to get rid of isn't impossible. Active sabotage should do it m

Then you destroy public schools. It's not much different than people who had to train foreign replacements for companies leaving the country.
