No Federal Employee Unions. . .Then what's with the AFGE?

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of hearing the most ridiculous claim made by Republicans and defenders of Scott Walker "that there are no federal employee unions."  They say why are state workers whining about their collective bargaining rights, since the federal OBAMA administration doesn't give collective bargaining rights to its employees.

That would dramatic news to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). The AFGE has been representing federal employees for 79 years.  The AFGE currently represents 600,000 employees in various departments.  How the Republicans have missed this is quite amazing considering the fact that Newt Gingrich and the Republicans battled them all throughout the budget shutdown?  (Check out this google search and click on an article if you want to pay for it.)

Let's counteract this false narrative.  Join me over the flip.
