“On May 22, in 90-degree heat, a group of workers circled in front of Rep. Steve Scalise’s office in Metairie, Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans. The workers, members of the Federal Unionists Network (FUN) and Step Up Louisiana, were just one small fraction of a growing group of organized public employees fighting back against the Trump administration’s ongoing attacks on the working class. President Donald Trump wants a Scott Walker moment, a Ronald Reagan moment, perhaps even a Margaret Thatcher moment: a big, dramatic showdown with public employees in which he can appear all-powerful and mercilessly crush them. Accompanied by Elon Musk, the president issued an executive order on March 27 to strip collective bargaining rights from more than 800,000 federal employees.” (05/28/25)
