U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is responding on X to the Politico report “Trump moves to strip unionization rights from most federal workers” by writing “See yinz in court.” The Pennsylvania Democrat, who took criticism from some supporters for flying to Mar-a-Lago and seeking an amiable instead of rancorous relationship with Trump, closely aligns his political identity with working class people.
[NOTE: Fetterman often uses the colloquial “yinz and youse” to describe his constituency.]
MAGA supporters are pushing back on Fetterman’s comment and flooding him with comments including “federal employees don’t need unions.”

Another expressed surprise at Fetterman’s stance, although the Senator has always been a supporter of labor unions. She wrote: “@JohnFetterman you have consistently amazed me with your common sense approach to respond on this administration and the decisions it is making. I'm shocked that you would think a union is necessary for federal employees. Help me understand your rationale. Genuinely curious.”...
