Trump order aims to outlaw most government unions on 'national security' grounds
Briefly

President Trump's recent executive order aims to eliminate collective bargaining rights in two-thirds of federal agencies, using a rarely invoked provision of the Civil Service Reform Act. The departments impacted include Defense, State, and Justice, among others, and the move has drawn fierce criticism from labor unions. The American Federation of Government Employees has pledged to challenge the order, suggesting it retaliates against union efforts to safeguard employee rights amidst widespread government layoffs. This change could affect 75% of union-represented federal workers, raising concerns over workers' rights and labor relations.
Trump's executive order uses a provision of the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act to exclude two-thirds of the federal workforce from collective bargaining, claiming national security.
The decision affects 67% of federal employees and breaks down labor negotiations within major departments like Defense and Homeland Security, eliciting backlash from unions.
