In yet another example of an irresponsible, undemocratic, unprecedented attempt to wipe out labor unions from the United States, the Trump administration has ordered federal agencies across the country to begin implementing the three controversial executive orders to obstruct our work fighting discrimination, retaliation, and injustices in the federal workplace.
Following a July 5 memo issued by Office of Personnel Management Director Jeff Pon, agencies on July 9 started shutting union volunteers off their Intranet and email systems, and drastically cut down official time – the hours union volunteers use to respond to workplace disputes such as discrimination and retaliation complaints filed by employees against management. Agencies also prevent our union reps from taking documents off-site and block us from using unpaid leave to represent workers.
Here’s what happening at Social Security Administration (SSA) offices nationwide:
Our union has filed lawsuits against the administration and has been joined by other unions and even members of Congress who are disgusted by this administration’s behavior. The hearing is set for July 25, which is our Day of Action. We will gather in Washington, D.C. and take action in our communities nationwide.
