Like, wild thing is the admin doesn't even need to RIF ppl now bc they've already claimed ability to do recisions AND to unilaterally rewrite union contracts, and neither of those are being hampered with this agreement.
They could just say, "you're working for free now take it or leave it."

Constituent, I just called yours and senator Smith's office and encouraged you to not compromise on anything short of an enforceable prohibition against executive recisions. This is about whether my kids will grow up in a constitutional Republic and strong Art. 1 powers are needed for that.
