I just got an urgent Email telling me to call my senators and tell

or corrupt they are.

A wonderful display of your ignorance.

What part is wrong?
It is absolutely true that the government pays people while they are
working for the union.
A quote from the Email (one thing they are bitching about)
"Eliminate the use of official time through the use of arbitrary
restrictions"
It is also true that a federal employee is pretty much fireproof.
We just had a guy here working for SSA who was caught using SS records
to stalk women. He did not lose his job. I knew a guy at one of my
federal customers in DC who was dealing drugs from the bottom drawer
of his desk. He wasn't fired either and they covered it up. Caught by
his boss but not reported to the cops.

Unions exist to define rights and and to protect their members from
arbitrary and capricious actions of their employer and in some cases to
negotiate for wages, hours, working conditions, and benefits. As for
firing federal employees, it happens all the time, despite the claim of
your anecdotes.

I know you righties hate labor unions, because they interfere with
management's desire to marginalize workers.
