What would they have to gain by being unionized? If and I assume they do take the same oath as other federal employees the take an oath not to strike against the government. IMO a government union is in name only. Do you think they would honor any other unions picket line? I've watched other federal unions cross any and all picket lines. A "true" union member wouldn't dream of crossing a line.
