Step one. Step two, abolish public sector unions.
May have drive up to Phoenix and apologize to Gov. Duecy for all my bad reviews the last few years.

I agree about no Politics on the clock. Unions themselves are protected under Amendment 1, right to assemble, petition for redress of grievances.

SGT (Join to see) ACKSHUALLY (as the man said) the right to organize was codified by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935. Only affected the private sector. The Railway Labor Act (RLA) passed earlier in 1926. President Kennedy allowed public sector unions in 1962. Stay tuned, I'm crafting a cogent, Reader's Digest response to SR Kenneth Beck SGT (Join to see) I love this topic and tend to get even more windy than usual discussing it.

It was a response to various States/Municipalities passing of legislation to try and break the Unions already in existence and prevent the organizing and assembly of new ones. Similar to the reason why there have been so many Amendments clarifying Who can vote.

National Labor Relations Act | National Labor Relations Board
In 1935, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”), making clear that it is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining by protecting workers’ full freedom of association. The NLRA protects workplace democracy by providing employees at private-sector workplaces the fundamental right to seek better working conditions and designation of representation without fear of retaliation.

Sir,
I believe no union work on company time is common. I was a shop steward not a labor attorney. Union activity is governed by National Labor Relations Board, State Laws, and the union contract with the employer. In Georgia, the Steward was allowed time to discuss grievances, conduct elections concerning shifts (per our contract) and 15 minutes to interview new employees covered by the union contract. We had a “no strike clause” for the terms of the contract. Georgia was a “right to work” state, you’re not compelled to join a union. Unions should not be afraid to compete for the hearts and minds of the workers. I received a paycheck for my labor and talents. I’m not an apologist for union abuses. I believe honoring the terms of a contract can be beneficial to all concerned.
V/R

CWO4 Terrence Clark - I have no problem agreeing that the "public sector unions" have a terrible disciplinary record. But then again I've seen numerous cases in which United Whatever Union has kept someone that is truly deserving a boot out the door, employed, to the detriment of the rank and file. Anecdotally, I worked 5 years with another person, that didn't have a clue how to do the job, was actually unable to read a VOM. This person got hired in to the position based on military MOS as a Helicopter Electronics Maintenance person. At the time this person got RIFfed, They had 17 yrs active was an E-6 with no hope of promotion, and was teaching new recruits and reclassed how to do the job, under strict supervision from their CMD. We are all aware of those instructors that hold an MOS and can't do the job, but haven't done anything bad enough, to get Chaptered or Articled out. There are other examples within my Job category that I could tell, but this one was personal.
Public sector unions need some cleaning up, in a bad way, but your position of eliminating them entirely is a No-Go at this station.
