9th Circuit Says Trump Can Bust Public Unions
Timothy Birdnow
This is a big win that the media will not cover, or at least gloss over.
For those of you who don't speak Stuff-Shirtese, Defenstrate means literally "throw out a window" and is used to mean vacate or otherwise rid oneself.
In other words, a court of appeal said Trump can get rid of public sector unions.
And it was the infamous 9th Circuuit that made this ruling, too!
FTA:
A federal appeals court will allow the Trump administration to end collective bargaining rights for thousands of government employees, in a blow for public-sector unions.
The Ninth Circuit panel's decision allows the administration to proceed with an executive order that allows some federal agencies to cut union ties for national security reasons.
Six unions representing about 800,000 federal civilian employees sued the administration last year, alleging violations of the First Amendment. A lower court previously found that President Donald Trump's order was designed to retaliate against unions. However, the Ninth Circuit panel ended that preliminary injunction.
The panel noted that Trump's executive order, issued in March 2025, was "the largest single effort to date to exclude agencies and subdivisions from collective bargaining on national security grounds."
This would only apply to public unions and only in matters of national security.
The Republicans stupidly let the Democrats create public sector unions back in the seventies, blissfully unaware that the whole point of unionizing the federal workforce was to permanently tie them all to the Democrats. They have been an integral part of the Democrat machine for fifty years now.
And how can you possibly have a labor union for governmet employees? Who is "mamagement" who will negotiate on the behalf of taxpayers and voters? Look at it this way; imagine a labor union run by the corporation it is supposed to negotiate with. Everyone would say that is insane, yet nobody says it's insane to have two sides of the negotiation being on the same side.
That is why the Democrats are so eager to hire more and more people to work for the government; it means more people who will support growing government at every turn and spending more money because they want to make sure to get their snouts in the trough. And they will vote Democratic because the Democrats hate fiscal discipline and hate smaller government. It was a cog in the Democrat machine and always has been. Nothing more.
That's why SEIU - the Service Worker's union - is so radically left-wing and politically activist. Many of the protests and riots we've seen over the years were fomented and manned by SEIU activists.
Trump is trying to break that and God bless him for it! And now we have at least one appeals court that has agreed he can do it, at least for now. The court did not make a final determination on the legality of this but stayed a lower court ruling. This will wind up at SCOTUS and who knows which way they will Jump, with John Roberts and Amy Conehead Barrett on the court.
