That was also the last time the federal government actually laid
anyone off. AFGE will never allow that to happen again

baloney

remember the air traffic controllers?

They weren't laid off, they were fired and others hired to replace
them. Big difference. And AFGE and all the other government workers
unions can't stop the government from downsizing if they wanted. They
have no power because they don't have the right to strike.


Ummm. I hate to tell you this, but this government is not downsizing.
Looked at the federal spending recently?
