“Even government agencies that perform an identifiable function should be eliminated if they are not performing a proper function of government. But what about an agency that exists primarily ‘to provide luxurious lifestyles for its employees?’ The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service is one of the agencies getting the ax under the Trump administration, at least until some judge tries to resurrect it. Nominally, FMCS existed to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses. But aside from doling out grants to unions and applicants with a tenuous connection to unions, its overriding purpose was to enable employees to splurge on themselves at the expense of taxpayers. That’s what Luke Rosiak discovered during a year-long investigation.” (03/24/25)
