Ashley Varner is back to discuss more left wing union shenanigans....
Maxford Nelsen is back to discuss how the Biden admin scrubs webpage showing how taxpayers fund union activities....
A report Max published was picked up by Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn regarding the amount of time federal government employees use to do union activity and union administration work on the taxpayer dime, during what should be normal government duties.
Â
It's called "official time" and it means union members doing official union activity during their normal working hours that are supposed to be working for the American people.
Â
The Biden Administration removed a webpage that documents the amount of hours (and corresponding taxpayer dollars) spent on union activity by government employees.Â
Â
Max is here to explain in more detail, and it should be an outrage to the American taxpayer that government unions are doing largely political work activities and being paid to do it by us the taxpayers.Â
Â
Here's Sen. Blackburn's letter to the Office of Personnel Management:

Â
