Why did Congress vote to end collective bargaining rights for Federal employees in 1978?

Um...he did not. This is just another false meme from the right...Carter passed the The Civil Service Reform act of 1978 which GUARANTEED that federal employees could join unions and engage in collective bargaining. "Established the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) as a federal analogue to the National Labor Relations Board in the private sector, including formalization in law of employees' rights to join unions and engage in collective bargaining on certain subjects."

http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbook... "Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978132 governs federal employer and employee labor relations. It specifically declares labor organizations and collective bargaining in the civil service to be "in the public interest." Accordingly, the act provides federal employees with legal rights similar to private-sector workers' Section 7 rights under the NLRA.

The act states that employees of the federal government have "the right to form, join, or assist any labor organization, or to refrain from any such activity, freely and without fear of penalty or reprisal, and each employee shall be protected in the exercise of such right."" http://www.mackinac.org/2323 The Law DID allow the Executive Branch to curtail collective bargaining under certain circumstances, but ONLY BUSH did that...Carter NEVER did. Under the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act, all federal employees have the right to bargain collectively, but the president has the power to restrict those rights for employees working in the intelligence or national security fields.

They would answer but they are too busy getting run over by Obama's bus.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
