In interviews, several #FederalWorkers lamented the curtailing of #union activities — tying it to a broader erosion of #ChecksAndBalances in American #democracy — & predicted additional agreement cancellations would follow. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
The loss of union protections is “just another way to make life miserable for the employees who are left,” said a #FEMA staff member.

One employee at #USCIS said morale was already low at his workplace, but the #union decision drove it lower. He said he complained to his family, many of whom are former #government union members. The advice he got back, he said, was to move on and find a job outside of government.
“I feel like the rug just got pulled from under us,” the employee said. “I joined USCIS & the union for #WorkersRights, but this administration wants to erode all that.”
