Trump's Attack on Labor Rights

The Trump administration introduced an executive order aiming to revoke the collective bargaining rights of federal workers, which unions have condemned as a historic assault on the labor movement. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), representing various federal workers, is actively challenging this order in court, asserting that it serves as retaliation against union efforts to combat administrative cuts and layoffs. Union leaders argue that revoking these rights undermines decades of progress made in ensuring fair labor practices and employee representation. The AFGE's president emphasized the importance of solidarity among workers as a means to resist these attacks and protect essential services that workers provide to the American public.
