Trump Moves To Freeze Federal Employee Pay
. . . The Left as well as some Republicans rushed inwards to assault the president.
by Matthew Vadum: President Trump used the Labor Day opor-garai to remind Americans that over-privileged, overpaid federal authorities employees don’t bespeak a pay hike, piece he inwards outcome made the example why nosotros bespeak to abolish authorities unions inwards the United States.
The president besides used the opor-garai to grapple dorsum against attacks past times Richard Trumka, the radical left-wing caput of the massive task federation AFL-CIO, which represents hundreds of thousands of federal employees.
Before the national opor-garai got underway Monday, Trump indicated he was planning to pass the weekend considering federal authorities employees’ pay rates. On Th the president notified Congress he would cancel a scheduled 2.1 per centum heighten for federal employees. Congress could practise an end-run around the movement past times including the pay hike inwards financial legislation.
"In lite of our Nation's financial situation, Federal employee pay must last performance-based, as well as aligned strategically toward recruiting, retaining, as well as rewarding high-performing Federal employees as well as those amongst critical science sets," Trump indicated inwards a alphabetic lineament to congressional leaders.
"I'm going to last doing a footling move over the weekend," Trump said inwards Charlotte, N.C., where he was promoting a novel management initiatory on retirement savings.
"I'm going to last studying the federal workers inwards Washington that you lot convey been reading then much about, people don't desire to ambit them the increase, they haven't had ane inwards a long time, I said I'm going to study that over the weekend."
Despite leftist apoplexy over the Trump administration’s imagined austerity measures, federal pay rose this twelvemonth effective Jan. 1. Executive Order 13819 signed past times President Trump on Dec. 22, 2017, boosted federal civilian pay past times 1.9 percent.
Although some lawmakers called for Trump to proceed the tradition of pay parity betwixt the armed services as well as civilian workforces, Congress did non intercede to farther increment civilian pay rates. In August terminal year, Trump formally announced his choice pay invention to increment pay past times 1.9 percent, a requirement to forbid a to a greater extent than generous heighten from automatically kicking inwards every bit a resultant of the 1990 Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act.
“A pay increment of this magnitude is non warranted, as well as federal means budgets could non arrange such an increment piece nonetheless maintaining back upward for substitution federal priorities such every bit those that advance the security as well as security of the American people,” Trump wrote at that time.
Eager to pander to Democrat-leaning federal employees inwards the Washington suburbs, Beltway-area Republicans don’t convey Trump’s back.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) used left-wing rhetoric to assault Trump terminal week.
“We cannot residue the budget on the backs of our federal employees as well as I volition move amongst my House as well as Senate colleagues to maintain the pay increment inwards our appropriations measures that nosotros vote on inwards September,” said the perpetually vulnerable Comstock.
Corey Stewart, the Republican running for the U.S. Senate inwards Virginia, besides disagreed amongst Trump’s policy position.
"I almost never differ amongst President Trump, but inwards this case, I do," he said. "Federal employees inwards Virginia wake upward early, expression upward punishing traffic as well as move difficult to serve their land as well as back upward their families. These workers bespeak as well as deserve a pay raise. I encourage President Trump to reconsider his position."
The pandering is pointless. Stewart has almost no adventure this Nov of defeating incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine (D), who was Hillary Clinton's running mate inwards 2016. Kaine has a 19.3 per centum Pb over Stewart, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
No ane –especially taxpayers— should hollo for U.S. authorities employees.
As FrontPage previously reported, federal authorities employees are taking abode a “minimum wage” of $100,000 as well as getting 2 months paid opor-garai later a mere 3 years of employment.
With a workforce of 2 ane K k people, the U.S. authorities is ane of the most generous employers around, spending to a greater extent than than $1 ane K k a infinitesimal on pay as well as benefits to its employees, for a full inwards a higher house $136 billion a twelvemonth inwards financial 2016, according to “Mapping the Swamp, Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Study of the Administrative State,” past times authorities watchdog grouping Open the Books. The study excludes 742,000 civilian employees at the Department of Defense every bit good every bit the 1.3 ane K k men as well as women on active duty.
Open the Books industrial plant life that over the previous 10 years the give away of federal employees earning $200,000 a twelvemonth had jumped 165 per centum as well as that 406,960 employees earn $100,000 or more, prompting the grouping to label the $100,000 paycheck the federal “minimum wage.” At 78 out of the 122 independent agencies as well as departments studied, the average employee compensation inwards financial 2016 topped $100,000. The typical fed gets 10 federal holidays off, xiii sick days, as well as twenty opor-garai days, as well as those amongst 3 years of service have to a greater extent than than 8 weeks paid vacation.
Out of command federal pay is driven past times the unrestrained greed of authorities workers’ unions that maintains upward pressure level on wages, increasingly insulating federal employees from the everyday American experience. As the land plunges deeper as well as deeper inwards debt, governments at all levels detect themselves unable to pay their bills, yet out-of-touch world employees relentlessly proceed shaking downwards taxpayers. All across the country, rapacious authorities unions are eating taxpayers alive, piece working feverishly to shape the political battlefield to their ain advantage—under comprehend of a crusade for “social justice.” Government employee unions constituent every bit an unelected 4th branch of government, augmenting its –and their own— mightiness at taxpayer expense, every bit I debate inwards my David Horowitz Freedom Center pamphlet, Government Unions: How They Rob the Taxpayer, Terrorize Workers, as well as Threaten Our Democracy.
Trumka’s AFL-CIO is a major constituent of the problem.
The AFL-CIO-affiliated American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union inwards the U.S., representing 700,000 federal as well as D.C. authorities workers nationwide as well as overseas.
Meanwhile, on Dominicus AFL-CIO President Trumka attacked Trump.
“Unfortunately, to date, the things that he’s done to wound workers outpace what he’s done to aid workers.”
Ignoring explosive job-growth figures seen since Trump became president, Trumka engaged inwards class-warfare nonsense on Fox News Channel, claiming Trump wound Americans past times lowering taxes, slashing job-killing regulations, as well as past times failing to enact a major infrastructure program.
Although unemployment has fallen, then convey reward “since the get-go of the year,” Trumka said. “Gas prices convey been upward since the get-go year. So overall, workers aren’t doing every bit well,” he said.
In the crucial midterm elections Nov it “probably volition last Democrats” that his members back upward “because Democrats back upward working people to a greater extent than than Republicans.”
On Labor Day, Trump fired dorsum on Twitter, claiming Trumka had represented his wedlock members “poorly.”
“Some of the things he said were then against the working men as well as women of our country, as well as the success of the U.S. itself, that it is slowly to run across why unions are doing then poorly. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Dem!” Trump added.
Expect the rhetoric to oestrus upward every bit Election Day approaches.
