County workers vote to unionize (Fairfax County, Virginia)
June 4, 2025 // First, however, the county must recognize the vote’s result.

Her leadership and the unwavering dedication of workers across the county have led us to this pivotal moment,” Thomas continued.
COMMENTARY: RHODE ISLAND: CAPTIVE-AUDIENCE MEETINGS FOR ME, BUT NOT FOR THEE

This affects not just bureaucrats but educators, corrections officers, Department of Transportation workers, and public employees of every kind, who increasingly find their autonomy undercut by unscrupulous union practices.
