Government employees (Federal, State and Local) should not belong to a union. If I am not mistaken, there was a low forbidding union membership for government employees but it was overturned

I agree with YIgal Levy. FDR knew this: “we the people” set public policy through the democratic process. Binding the people to a collective bargaining agreement takes authority away from the people.

FDR applies similar logic to the topic of strikes:

. . . a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. https://showmeinstitute.org/article/government-unions/what-was-fdrs-stance-on-government-unions/
