We recently discussed a report which indicated that some departments in the federal government have no idea how many hours their employees spend on “official time.” In case you missed it, that’s the designation given to hours during the workday when workers are ostensibly conducting union business while on the clock. What we do know is that at least in some cases it’s quite a bit. In fact, some employees spend literally all of their time, all year long doing nothing but union work while being paid salaries funded by the taxpayers. Entire offices are dedicated to union business even though they are on federal government property and all the costs associated with providing resources to those offices are similarly paid for with tax dollars.

If the issue is on the table then that's better than there being nothing but us growling whenever the issue is raised.

government employee worker unions should be abolished

any work done for the union should not be paid by tax dollars

make them pay rent for those offices
