"We, the undersigned federal worker unions and organizations, implore you to reject any bad budget deal in the name of protecting federal employees. We are directly impacted when the government shuts down: our members would no longer be able to work, get paid, or fulfill their mission of serving the American public. But we believe the most important thing is fighting against the centralization of executive power and for the long-term survival of the critical services the federal government provides, even if that means allowing the government to temporarily shut down. Next year’s budget must ensure adequate funding for critical public services; guarantee that appropriated funds are spent to provide those services; and oppose the Trump Administration’s efforts to further weaken the programs, protections, and services that tens of millions of Americans rely upon..." -- first paragraph of a letter from the Federal Unionists Network and 35 supporting unions to Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries today, in anticipation of their meeting with the Malignant Fascist and his congressional gauleiters, MAGA Mike Johnson and Sen. Thune. These potentially directly- impacted employees are telling Democratic leaders not to cave, and those leaders must not or they need not call themselves leaders any more.
