Now wait for his standard bullshit reply 'Search my older posts and educate yourself' He can never provide citation or sources for his claims but pretends he has provided them in the past and yet is completely unable to post it just one more time! LOL
Well, I personally wouldn't make a habit of deflecting legitimate questions ... it hurts one's credibility--among other things ...especially with such a simple question.
Go read their website. I don't have hours to dwell on the obvious. That the AFGE is not offering any program to provide workers with zero interest loans is shameful -- after collecting on average $18 to $22 from everyone's paycheck. https://www.afge.org/
What are you even talking about? Why should they provide loans? They collect money for "legal representation, legislative advocacy, technical expertise and informational services." according to their own website that you linked!
Again, please cite your sources that indicate that they are required to do as you've alleged. The website you cited is a union's site and doesn't indicate that they are required to do as you've alleged. I'm not aware of any FLRA, USC, CFR regulations/statutes, or case law, or CBA that supports what you've presented to the readers here as fact.
By the way, many are assisting the federal workers: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/07/ban...-workers-without-pay-because-of-shutdown.html Everyone is doing what they can to help accept Trump... Trump afterall says that all those workers losing money support him.
Also AFGE does have interest free loan programs so I find it funny you are making a big case out of something that you barely researched but claim as fact...
Yes Banks and Credit Unions have been assisting federal workers. This is the job of the union -- not financial institutions. The AFGE is the only union that I have heard of that does not provide partial pay or zero interest loans to its members when they are not being paid. After all the union dues they have collected it is shameful that they not do so. I will agree that the federal workers are merely victims of the politics going on over on Capital Hill - and Trump bears a good portion of the responsibility & blame. I don't think that most federal workers support Trump -- after all Trump has already proclaimed most of them are Democrats.
