A coalition of federal employee unions has launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration over efforts to eliminate union representation for approximately one million federal workers. The unions argue that President Trump's actions overstep constitutional boundaries and infringe on union rights. This legal action follows an executive order aimed at exempting employees from federal unions under the guise of national security. The American Federation of Government Employees contends that these maneuvers represent a significant threat to collective bargaining and have characterized them as retaliatory against the unions' opposition to workforce reductions.
