The Trump administration would never do something so bold and outrageous as tossing out an active collective bargaining agreement if it thought that the TSA workers would strike. It is operating on the assumption that the union will whine, and run to court, but that the workers will keep working, and ultimately the government will prevail, because Trump is now a king and laws cannot control him. If and when this assumption proves correct, you can expect this pattern to be repeated, and very soon, government workers -the most heavily unionized sector of America--will find that their union contracts mean nothing. And that is the death of a system of worker power that millions of people have spent many decades building.

Vance said that if Trump became president again, " think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.!"
