Public employees are exempt from the NLRA and it is not abnormal for an independently wealthy public sector employee to accept an appointment with a $1/yr wage. Also not covered are air/railway workers (who are covered under the RLA), agricultural workers who have some very weird and problematic coverage, and certain domestic workers/contractors for... some fucking reason and with some effect.

Never underestimate how much of a shithole the US is for labor.
