Largest federal employees union slashing more than half of staff

The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the largest union representing the federal workforce, is slashing more than half of its staff around the country, pinning the blame on President Trump and his executive actions.
AFGE is expected to lay off more than 200 employees, going from 355 workers down to about 150, the union confirmed to The Hill on Friday. This includes more than 100 workers within the union president’s office, along with dozens in offices across the U.S.
The layoffs will deal a blow, but the union, which represents 820,000 federal and Washington, D.C., government workers, contended its fight for the rights of federal employees will not slow down.
“From Day 1 this Administration has sought to stamp out the voices of patriotic civil servants, and these attacks on their unions are no different,” the AFGE said in a statement. “The President’s elimination of elective membership dues and the resulting layoffs are a setback, but they are not the end of AFGE — not by a longshot.”
The AFGE has filed several lawsuits, ranging from preventing the Department of Government Efficiency and its top adviser Elon Musk from accessing sensitive employee data, to barring the administration from firing probationary employees.

Government workers do not need a union.

Tough break for those employees that lost their jobs. They should've unionized.

Hmmm…Sounds greedy, and you know how much unions despise greed.
Considering their budget is derived from dues, you’d expect a loss of half their members. If the final number that sticks is 5% that would be shocking…or half the union’s staff earns 5% of their budget.

No news articles for the four times I was laid off from Pharma.
Not directly, but I was told to learn to code.
