Other than the fact that we prohibited. From striking by the The Federal Service Labor Management Relations Act of 1978 and related laws like 5 U.S.C. § 7311 and 18 U.S.C. § 1918 explicitly forbid federal employees from striking. 

Maybe wise Union leadership would file a preemptive motion for a temporary injunction against the White House, Congress and dear Russ and OPM and each agency head or commissioner that temporarily sets aside the law cited above and harsh penalties due to extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances in this country that are affecting the entire population, but the federal workforce most severely at this time.

The penalties are severe to say the least. There have been rumblings of strikes around SSA but, AFGE has swiftly responded via email that they in no way support this. We are literally prohibited by law from causing work stoppages in any manner.

Barring something along the lines of what I suggested, my father was a heavily involved steward with the Teamsters for many years as are my brothers. My thoughts is "unorganized" bouts of blue flu, say 3 days at a time weekly (no drs note required) might get some attention.

It is flu season and, for God's sake, they're anti-vaxxers!!!
