President Trump signed an executive order that eliminates collective bargaining rights for many federal employees, affecting over 1 million workers across multiple agencies. This order applies broadly to roles linked to national security and public safety, while exempting police and firefighters. The White House claims authority under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, a move criticized by labor unions as detrimental to employees' rights. This action continues a pattern of eroding union rights, following previous directives that limited bargaining provisions and union leadership time.
Trump's executive order significantly expands the reach of federal authority over employee bargaining rights, impacting over 1 million federal workers, excluding police and firefighters.
The White House claims the authority under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, yet unions argue this undermines the foundational rights established for federal workers.
