Another politician bought and paid for, JB Snickers thinks his money will save him, not.
Nice try JB but too little too late. Trumps war on Federal Unions will lead to the elimination of Public Sector Unions nationwide. And not a day too soon. Good riddance parasitic criminal vermin.

I still don’t understand the beef over firing unneeded staff that were hired with temporary covid funds to boost Joe’s woeful employment numbers. Go by seniority ( as unions are supposed to ) and then give those on the threshold of retirement an early, but fairly compensated, exit and last, but not least, axe the useless hangers on that won’t ever leave unless it’s feet first.
