How hard or easy is it for the executive branch to terminate a federal CBA?

My fed job has a good CBA that expires in 2029. If a new anti-union administration is elected, can it delete our CBA? Does it depend on who is placed on the FLRB?

Trump staged a photo op at a McDonald's while accusing Harris of lying about working at the fast food chain. The owner of that McDonald's lobbied against a state proposal to make more workers eligible for overtime pay & one of his businesses was protested by activists calling for wages to be raised.

NALC Horrible Contract offer.

Please stand with us by signing our petition to gather higher wages other than the 1.3% offered to us. While other Unions were able to gain a 20 - 35 % wage increases we are struggling here.

NALC Tentative Agreement

Management got a 5% increase this year.

City Letter Carriers are set to receive 1.3% per year over the term of the contract. Historical records show 1.1%-1.3% is pretty much standard.

Dejoy and his management team received massive bonuses despite USPS being in the red.

Many postal vehicles already have AC and a new fleet is being developed anyway 🤷‍♂️.

Crime is up exponentially against Letter Carriers since 2020. The pay should match the risk.

The reduction in the time to get to top pay ONLY applies to brand new hires. Not those currently on the books.

Do better USPS/NALC.

If this gets ratified there will be an exodus of younger workers.

IndustriALL question.

Hi there, I have worked at this company since 2016 and management never mentioned we have a contract with a global union. I recently found out and I am trying to spread the news.

The question I have is if I am spreading the information, they trace it back to me, and they try to hurt me, would IndustriALL protect me? I have reached out but got a email back saying the person is on vacation.

Just... I also found out a sister location in California has paid hour lunches and here we have to clock out no matter what. They have been scrutinizing time punches and it has been the most annoying shit. I just want better for my co workers.

I printed the press article that they released on the company's website. Not many workers here have access to a computer or can read English so I even made a Spanish version.

Any advice would help.

Is this lawful?

I work for a non profit college that has a very prestigious name. Most workers are union and I am a contractor. As a union rule, As a contractor I am only allowed to work 14 hours a week, but I got a pay increase of double my rate. So now, anything over 7 hours and I am banking my hours into the following weeks because they will only allow me to claim 14 hours at my original pay grade and that is the cap for contractors via the union so my raise was a work around.

It upsets me that I am not getting paid for the hours that I work. I appreciate that I am making double, but no matter how hard I work I can only claim the 14 hours at the original pay grade and then I have to push my hours out.

Is this legal? Have you heard of this? I have already spoken to my boss and my bosses boss about it but they seem to just brush me off.

Biden was asked if he would step in to stop the dockworkers strike. they meant like Reagan did when he fired striking airline employees. Thankfully Biden refused to get involved. He said “I believe in collective bargaining “. Trump would have done what Reagan did.
