Sara Nelson rose to prominence in early 2019 as a voice for labor during the government shutdown prompted by Trump. She highlights the serious implications of the administrationâs actions, particularly the risk to collective bargaining rights among federal employees. In discussing the detrimental impact of stripping these rights, Nelson emphasizes the necessity of unified labor voice to counteract the administration's anti-union stance, asserting that collective action is key to combatting current threats to workers' rights.
When you look at what Trump is doing to cancel the TSA contract, they did that hoping that people wouldn't care, because in general, people don't like going through TSA. He then did it for another 700,000 federal workers in different agencies, saying that they don't have the right to collective bargaining because they're security-sensitive. It's the most absurd, ridiculous argument.
What happens when labor speaks as one?... collective action could be the silver bullet to fight Trump's agenda.
