My bff works for SSA. Their union just let them know that they have to start negotiations on a new contract and that management threw out the entire contract, so they have to start from scratch, which is hard. Also there is a gag order in place to prevent the union from updating employees in negotiations.my friend said this is unheard of. What is SSA? Social Security Administration?

Does "reform" mean "get rid of" in this alternate universe? Welfare "reform". Healthcare "reform". Immigration "reform".

My coworkers keep referring to the tax act as "tax reform"....that was not tax reform guys. I am going out of my way to change labels to say "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" every where I find the reform wording. I want that ridiculous name immortalized in our documents.

It *is* unheard of.. the employees are usually in the loop because they have to vote to approve the new contract

Lol, Hatch's team says the "greatest President ever" comment was a bit of a stretch by POTUS. He is so desperate for praise.

The WH is trying to pretend that they withdrew Victor Cha’s nomination over a background check issue...David Nakamura is not buying it.

It *is* unheard of.. the employees are usually in the loop because they have to vote to approve the new contract I don't think it's unheard of. Of course the final contract has to be provided to be read before a vote, but there have been instances where, let's say, school boards and teacher union reps work with confidentiality agreements during the negotiation process. I'm thinking in 2016 Verizon and the IBEW worked under a gag order during that negotiation.

Also the part about scrapping the whole contractor has not happened to them before.
