Review-Journal Editorial Board: “Biden administration wastes little time paying off Big Labor”
Washington, D.C. – Keeping schools closed at the behest of the unions isn’t the only case of the Biden Administration kowtowing to unions. Take a look at his recent executive orders. President Biden and his administration REVERSED a policy that makes it easier to hold federal workers accountable for doing their jobs efficiently as well as another policy that bars federal employees from doing union work on government time. That’s right: Joe Biden is subsidizing inefficient workers and allowing them to carry out union business on the taxpayers’ dime.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stand with the unions, but what about Catherine Cortez Masto? Will Cortez Masto put Nevada families and workers first by courageously standing up to her union donors or will she join the Far Left’s anti-worker movement?
Las Vegas Review-Journal: Biden administration wastes little time paying off Big Labor
“Less than six weeks into his presidency, Joe Biden has made it crystal clear that government unions have the run of the White House over the next four years.
“It took just days in the Oval Office for Mr. Biden to frantically hit reverse on his pledge to quickly reopen schools. A few sweet nothings in the ear from the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association and the president was suddenly more interested in appeasing the entrenched education establishment than minimizing the damage the pandemic has wrought on the nation’s schoolchildren.
“Then there’s the series of executive orders Mr. Biden signed in January that elevate members of the federal workforce over the taxpayers they serve. Donald Trump had implemented a handful of reforms intended to make it easier to dispatch poor performers and to give agencies more personnel flexibility. But Mr. Biden was having none of that ‘efficiency’ nonsense. […]
“Mr. Biden’s reversal of the ‘official time’ policy amounts to a massive public subsidy to organized labor, which will no doubt reward the president and other Democrats by laundering the savings into political contributions courtesy of the American taxpayer. It’s further evidence that the modern Democratic Party has little use for private-sector workers other than as a funding source to cover the demands of their political benefactors.”
