Letter from Members of Congress to the House Appropriations Committee; submitted by Rep. Lynch.

You leave your employees with no protections at all. You strip them of their rights.

The overriding interest in government and in the public is to allow employees to be represented by unions.

Representative Udall, who at the time proposed this language--he proposed this language.

So you stripped them of their collective bargaining rights. That's what you did, right?

You're the secret sauce that made this stuff happen, right?

As a manager, Chairman Kiko has earned a failing grade from the employees of the Authority itself.

Persistent vacancies in the top position in the FLRA's Office of General Counsel have also allowed a backlog of more than 200 documented violations of Federal labor law to go unaddressed or unresolved.

This single act reveals, I think, a personal and disqualifying anti-union bias.

Much like the President who appointed this Chairman, the FLRA Chairman has exhibited unprecedented anti-union bias.

A Federal judge struck down key provisions of those executive orders, finding that they were, quote, 'an improper exercise of the President's statutory authority.'

The Trump administration has made no attempt to disguise its hostility toward collective bargaining, unions, and Federal service labor laws.

There's an overriding wish or directive or mission here to provide employees with representation?

Where does the TSA find its justification, its legal justification for capturing the facial identity of the flying public?

I want to thank you for holding a second hearing on facial recognition. I thank the Ranking Member as well.

You stripped them of their collective bargaining rights. That's what you did, right?

You say that you have no anti-union bias, and I'll just have to take that at face value.

I cannot believe that the source of this is not anti-union bias.

You can say the statute did it, but the statute didn't do it for 40 years until you got there.

I got to go with Mr. Udall on this since he wrote it.

I want to thank Chairwoman Waters for her great work on this bill. She has been a true champion on behalf of consumers during her time in Congress. This chart shows the decrease in enforcement actions which have plummeted by 75 percent…

That hurts our credibility as well. There are enough conspiracy theorists out there to damage the integrity just domestically, never mind foreign interference.
