'Who can stop Elon Musk’s smash-and-grab rampage through the federal government?...the new administration has already suggested it might flout court rulings it doesn’t like. ..

Fortunately, a force exists with the power and disposition to defeat Musk: organized federal workers.....Musk would likely gleefully fire federal strikers for whom striking is illegal. That’s why the Federal Unionists Network has gotten creative and launched a new “Let Us Work” campaign.

Here’s how its organizers explain the plan:

Through a mass action campaign, federal workers—including those who've been illegally fired — will challenge every illegitimate layoff. Instead of letting Musk steal their jobs, they’ll show up for duty with a clear message: “Let me work. I serve the American people, not the richest man on Earth, who nobody elected to be my boss.”

I am reminded of the innovative “sit down” tactics of the 1930s, when countless worker activists confronted the crisis of the Great Depression by sitting down at their places of work instead of walking out.

To confront today’s crisis — MAGA’s authoritarian power grab — it’s not hard for me to imagine large numbers of federal workers and allies similarly choosing to walk in collectively to work.

Though normal rallies still have an important role to play — and though it's up to federal workers themselves to determine what specific tactics are most appropriate — there would be something particularly compelling about scores of supporters attempting to peacefully escort an illegally fired worker into their workplace, so that they can continue to serve the American public.

Federal workers are risking their necks by standing up. But they can’t win alone. Each of us needs to understand that defeating Musk is the pivotal battle today. And we must start taking action accordingly. Nothing less than the future of our country is on the line. Eric Blanc, a professor of labor studies at Rutgers University
