@CoreyStewartVA

US Senate candidate, VA
Federal workers endured 8 years of hell under Obama, with several rounds of pay freezes and benefit cuts.

@realDonaldTrump can fix this, and I trust that he will.

Trump used that to his advantage. Now he's doing a bait and switch. Frog meet scorpion.

I was just going by the info in the o.p.. Are you AFGE, or unionized at all, Draht? I see the nyt article you post is from the end of '10, did the '16 pay raise go through?

I hope for the best for gov employees, except the tRump appointees.

Have a good Labor day.

They do the same to my wife (AFT). I remember when the repugs shut down the government, then some teabag repug congresscritter showed up to a Nat'l Park photo op with some rightwing citizens to bitch about how the park was closed, why weren't those gov employees doing their jobs?

Or did someone photoshop in the last line?

If baptist churches are speaking this openly, then IQ45 has a real problem.
