Game Changer! The IRS Union Endorses Kamala Harris
2025-06-28
[Gateway] In what could be a massive game changer in the 2024 presidential election, the union representing workers from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has endorsed Kamala Harris.
News from 2024
In a press release this week, the National Treasury Employees Union which represents workers of the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that the decision had been taken "after extensive research into the candidates’ records regarding the federal workforce, and consultation with NTEU members and chapter leaders across the country."

"When it comes to treating federal employees with respect, valuing their service, and investing in their work, Kamala Harris is the clear choice," said NTEU National President Doreen Greenwald.

"She shares our values and our commitment to making sure that the federal government works for all Americans. She has been a strong advocate for the issues that matter most to federal employees: fair pay, paid family leave, adequate agency funding and staffing, and robust collective bargaining rights."

#8  So IRS folks get union representation when they are disciplined for screwing up? It doesn’t look like the union does a good job of protecting whistleblowers.

#6  Yes, he was against unions. Having made into his 4th term, he didn't need them.

#4  On August 5, 1981, President Ronald Reagan begins firing 11,359 air-traffic controllers striking in violation of his order for them to return to work. The executive action, regarded as extreme by many, significantly slowed air travel for months.

#3  FWIW, FDR was adamantly opposed to government unions.

Because it was so asininely stupid, I had to check see if this was a hidden BB planted story 1st.

Commercial sector unions have played a needed role, prior to Federal Work and OSHA laws being passed.

But Federal employee Unions are just rebellious LSD politically used and steered minions. Its not about $$$, or conditions it is all about politics.

So disband All Federal Unions.

They knew and accepted a job with a very detailed job description. They have have better retirement, healthcare, salaries with COLA, and working areas then a majority of US workers have today. Yet they whine and play politics?????

They were not hired to play politics which usually Liberal Socialist Democrat steered agenda tactics.

Allowing the IRS to play politics would just have them auditing any MAGA voters, and rewarding a blind eye to LSD's off shore donors.
