    They have both houses of Congress, I assume the federal government is about to be gutted. They even published a book on it

      Yeah, but repealing the csra wouldn’t exactly solve their issues with federal employees, and would likely cause more problems than it solves.

      The CSRA was a compromise between federal employees and the government. Giving up their right to collective bargaining for a set amount of guaranteed rights and options of recourse. If you ended up overturning the csra you would also be getting rid of the prohibitions against collective bargaining and more importantly…strikes.

      Meaning that federal employees would garter the power to freeze aspects of the federal government on demand. Making their collective bargaining power immense.

      I’m sure he’s going to do a bunch of damage, but I doubt they would go as far as repealing the CSRA, and even if they did, it might be a good thing for workers.
