Original Note:
This claim misrepresents FDR's stance. In a 1937 letter, FDR said government employee unions have a 'logical place' but opposed strikes and adversarial collective bargaining. He did not call them 'ridiculous' or argue they should not exist. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/letter-the-resolution-federation-federal-employees-against-strikes-federal-service
