Deep dives
Impact of Trump's Executive Order on Federal Unions
An executive order signed by President Trump strips collective bargaining rights from many federal employees, mainly affecting those linked to national security. This move is expected to provide legal grounds for the administration to dissolve existing contracts between federal agencies and unions, particularly in defense, justice, and homeland security sectors. As a consequence, the largest federal workers union, representing around 800,000 members, anticipates that numerous members may soon lose their union affiliation and has vowed to file legal counteractions. If courts rule in favor of this executive order, it could significantly bolster Trump's ability to decrease the federal workforce and reduce government spending.
