Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that granted federal employees the right to collective bargaining.

Across the great land, Labor Day is celebrated with verve, both by those who have a job, those who are retired and the welfare monger who celebrates their own free lunch on the back of labor’s dime.

Never in the history of our Great Nation, with the economy plugging along at a 4.7% unemployment rate, have so many individuals collecting their fare share from the federal and state governments. Why, is the question. With hiring signs ubiquitous, pay rates at an all time high, but eaten by inflation, we still find those individuals getting handouts from Uncle Sam. Do they not have any self-esteem? Is their life meaningless?

THE BUREAUCRACY CONTINUES UNDER HARRIS BIDEN – IMPOSSIBLE TO FIRE A PUBLIC WORKER

We must remind the tax paying Americans who work in the private sector that union employees make 30% more that the average American for the same job. But that is not all, many of them are superfluous, excess baggage. One other salient point, Union workers are rarely fired, secondly, they have less stress when compared to the private sector worker. Many times there is no gauge to determine their production, therefore their actual value

A vigorous effort is in effect to mobilize the millions of union workers, most to them working in the public sector. “The status quo  of police killing Black people, of armed white nationalists killing demonstrators — see this as clearly unjust, and it cannot continue,” says the statement from several branches of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Service Employees International Union, and affiliates of the National Education Association.

But a recent report from the Cato Institute’s “Downsizing the Federal Government” project describes, by far, the largest pay and compensation gap yet between public and private sector workers. Adding benefits such as health care and retirement, federal employees have a higher advantage than private sector workers. Average federal compensation reached $127, 259 in 2016, while private sector averages topped out at $70,764 — or $56, 495 lower.

Federal employees earned 80 percent more in 2016 compared to private sector workers, according to Chris Edwards, director of tax policy studies at Cato. Federal employees earn 42 percent more than state and local government workers,
