This union doesn’t “oversee” border patrol.
The murdered nurse was a member of AFGE, and the AFGE is affiliated with the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). But that doesn’t mean the AFGE fully represents the NBPC. It’s a team-up to have more collective bargaining power.
If the NBPC says that their leaders should be fired, THEN shit will have really hit the fan.
Plus due to laws that restrict federal workers right to strike, federal employee unions are incredibly weak
Thanks Ronnie you fuckin mushbrain bigot
Until they strike anyway. That will strengthen their union. What are they going to do, fire EVERY government employee?
Last time there was a major walk out they used the military to fill positions until replaced
Public sector unions shouldn't exist in the first place.
It may be cause English is not my mother tongue but isn't it the other way around? That the NBPC is affiliated with AFGE?
(The fact that the NBPC is a member of the AFL-CIO is a shame for all the unions of the AFL-CIO)
The The AFGE is larger organization and the NBPC uses their resources and muscle.
Why would Donald Trump care? ICE is largely stacked with new recruits entirely loyal to the President. The NBPC isn't representing them in any material capacity.
Yeah, I don’t know how many of those new folks are or aren’t in that union. All I know is that the veteran border patrol folks are.
And my guess is that a lot of those existing employees are pretty pro Trump. Policing borders isn’t usually the public service job that bleeding heart liberals go for.
