Dubayoo Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) That's right: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=15445 Quote All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

ComradeMilton Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ronald Reagan is recorded on camera declaring that unions are a basic, fundamental human right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caecus Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 And yet union membership is at an all time low, sitting a little over 20% today. Not sure what's there to debate. If we are all trying to collectively shit on FDR, I would have brought up internment camps and court packing. Quote It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. It was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. Everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings. Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them and not others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, if anyone who looks on to the world as if it was a game of chess, deserves to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeMilton Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not solving the Great Depression, playing a major part in ending a world war, bringing electricity into areas it hadn't been previously and so and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Avalanche Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I think the argument is about FDR's disdain for public unions/government workers in unions bargaining in government jobs. Quote Beer. Damn Good Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
