    Public service is specifically engineered to encourage bootlickers and weed out independent thinking.

    I was an employee of the department of homeland security for about 6 months back in 2023, and I was fired for invoking my Weingarten rights as a union member.

    This is very specifically against the law on local and federal levels.

    I told my union rep (AFGE local 1533) that my rights had been violated repeatedly. My rep told me “arbitrations are expensive” and that the union “will not pursue your grievances”.

    I wish an eye opening lose-your-income-and-housing on each and every person working for AFGE in any capacity.

    Fuck them once for not having a spine, and fuck them twice for the thoughts and prayers email they sent me just days ago asking for donations in the name of Alex Pretti. Absolutely ghoulish behavior.
