Its one of the biggest unions in the US AND has huge ties with other unions. If they really wanted to, they could shut down quite a bit of the government at the same time. And not just the feds either.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

The trouble is, shutting down the government would play right into Trump's hands because that's what he wants to do anyway.
What we need is a general strike of everybody outside of government too.
