#1 Just repeal the Executive order on union standing in the federal government. There can be no 'equal' standing between a sovereign government and a union.

#2 I agree with Procopius. OR transfer VA people who get in the way to the same VA hospital and fill the place with all the ones of a kind. Then set standards of care in a ranking order and watch them FAIL. Publicize the failures. Or find some transfer place where the person winds up in a dead end career move. Same thing. Garbage dump them. just fill the place up even if there is no work at all to do. Just BEING THERE should be enough to end a career.
Don't care how crowded it gets with people who can't cut it. Let them have stacked offices in the halls. ( no patients, of course ). Let them just look at one another all day.
The Vets can get treatment , just not a that facility. Make sure the Union isn't changed, just smeared all over itself. Make it very obvious. See how long they can smell each other.

#3 Ditto P2k.

Reagan showed how to do it. Haven't seen a rash of planes falling out of the sky so I doubt that dumping these pencil pushers will have any significant downside.

#4 Sadly if he did sweep away the federal unions I'm sure Congress would act quickly to make it actual law on both sides - overriding any veto. I'm sure Mitch and Ryan would jump right in.
They do love eating that union dogcrap.

#5 Use that rule to make their pay $1 and use the money saved for vouchers at private hospitals.

#6 Prudhoe Bay needs a New Igloo built VA center staffed by these folks.
