Biden’s parting gift to government unions

The electorate voted overwhelmingly in support of taking the federal government in a new direction last month, but thanks to the undemocratic power of government unions, the new administration will be limited in its ability to deliver more efficient services for citizens.

In a last-second move designed to thwart the will of the voters, Social Security Administration Commissioner Martin O’Malley, an appointee of President Joe Biden, signed a deal with the American Federation of Government Employees this week guaranteeing that the entity’s 42,000 SSA employee members will not have to come into the office when President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.
