In March, Trump signed an executive order stating that the federal government would no longer recognize the right of wide swaths of federal employees to collective bargaining.

It's a blatant power grab. This will put corporations in the mindset to do the same to their own workers, with Trump's and Musk's blessing. Anyone who still thinks Trump is protecting the interests of the little guy and the working man is deluded.

I guess you never heard of the ten yo kids forced to work in mines or the way 19th century bosses would tell their workers, you want heat in this cold climate? bring your own coal.
Or dudes forced to work 60 hours or more a week or get fired.
I was in a union and they saved my sorry ass from getting fired. On a highly technical job where I had to measure the radiation coming off a measurement tool I found radiation penetrating the box it was housed in.

Reported it to bosses and they said forget about it.
I didn't and filed a complaint with the government and they tried to fire me for being a whistleblower but that radiation was hitting workers right at the bench they worked on and I even found a decent solution to the problem, putting a half inch thick aluminum slab about 4X6 inches under the tool stopped the radiation but that didn't mean jack to the bosses.
The Union stood up for me, that was not a firing offense and the bosses relented and I went back to work.
The tool used Iron 59 an isotope of iron that is highly radioactive and is useful to measure the thickness of a titanium layer done by an electron evaporator where they wanted 500 nanometer thickness layer and it did a decent job of measuring it. But the radiation seal was not great which is why I alerted authorities where the radiation was whacking people sitting at the bench were the tool was located.
Anyway, the Union saved me.

what is the halving thickness of aluminum?

Seen this yet? Trump's budget curtails funding and enforcement capabilities of OSHA.

Anyone who thinks Trump cares about the working man is deluded.

You don't understand when I said it was a half inch thick slab of aluminum that stopped the radiation?
Where did you see halving? I was pretty clear when I said it was an aluminum slab half inch thick.

Yeah, can't have the competence thing going on in MAGAT world.

It's not incompetence; it's rampage capitalism. These policies benefit no one but billionaire CEO factory owners. It is bloddy obvious that neither Trump nor Vance thinks he will ever be held accountable by the courts or the electorate.

Trump's 34 felony counts have not been written under the table, it is still active and as soon as Trump is no longer POTUS he will face sentencing for those crimes.

You dont have a clue about the ability of aluminum to block radiation. A stone would have been Better than aluminum.

Aluminum has a halving value of 2.7. With you working in this environment you would think you know this.😂

A Halving value is how radiation blockage is calculated.

He is out for the little guy. Prob is a lot of little guys want to depend on government for their lives, and this makes it a real conundrum for Trump, not knowing which ones are the dependents, the losers. They ruin it for all the other guys who want to be self reliant.
Which side are you drumming for?

Ha here's sonhouse on Chapter 19 of the Jan 6 Sagas.
Let us put this prediction in our journals, that Trump will be in chains on the '34 felonies' of Trump!!!! 34 journal entries on the same matter. Like if i do my granny in with 34 stab wounds, is that one felony, or 34?
Ohhhhhsonhouse.............................
