— Supreme Court allows Trump to terminate 16,000 probationary federal workers. Democrats run IRS and GAO. When I transferred from IRS to GAO, my Democrat GAO superiors were furious that they could not immediately terminate me because I had already served my probationary period at IRS.

— Supreme Court blocks order requiring Trump administration to reinstate thousands of federal workers. After my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire, a low level Democrat GAO Personnel Office employee hinted that he might be able to get me reinstated. But my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that if did not retire, they would make the next 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement a living hell for me. They promised to demote me and to give me adverse transfers, bad job assignments, unfair performance expectations and evaluations, and even worse things. They could easily do that because GAO was not unionized.

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— How unions can navigate the Trump years. I should write about my critics/opponents who are the most anti-union. They stress that while I was a union member, my salary increased from $19.37/hour to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU and an MBA from Loyola and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt.
