As you’ve seen in the news, the new administration is slashing the federal budget, laying off tens of thousands of public service workers – many of them veterans. Make no mistake – this is not only a Washington, DC issue. It is going to affect all of us, whether we work for a state, county, city, town, school, or hospital.
That’s because on average, one-third of state budgets rely on the federal budget. If the new administration gets its way and guts federal programs like Medicaid, it WILL directly impact our jobs – from pay and benefit cuts to staffing levels to potential furloughs and layoffs. And it will most undoubtedly hurt our next round contract negotiations.
Why are they doing this? It’s simple: to give their billionaire pals trillions of dollars in tax breaks.
