Hey Gerry @GerryConnolly did you see a bill called the "Federal Employee Rights Act" is getting introduced today?

@RepDonBeyer Yeah, @RepDonBeyer! It would block Fed agencies from deducting labor org fees from employee salaries.

That’s unbelievable because fed employees aren’t required to join a union @GerryConnolly @RepDonBeyer

Fed employees also get to choose whether or not to pay their membership dues @ChrisVanHollen @GerryConnolly @RepDonBeyer

Everyone knows that! @EleanorNorton @ChrisVanHollen @GerryConnolly

It’s wrong and mean spirited to single out fed employees and their unions @ChrisVanHollen @RepDonBeyer @EleanorNorton @ChrisVanHollen

It also unfairly hurts fed employee unions’ ability to advocate on their members' behalf @GerryConnolly @RepDonBeyer @EleanorNorton

That serves only one purpose – to get rid of the fed employee unions @RepDonBeyer @ChrisVanHollen @GerryConnolly
