President Trump has enacted a new memorandum invalidating labor contracts created during the final 30 days of an outgoing presidential term, particularly those made under the Biden administration. This move targets recent collective bargaining agreements, suggesting they were designed to undermine Trump's authority and protect prior administration policies like remote work. While asserting that the president has no power to unilaterally alter approved contracts, challenges from federal employee unions are expected, indicating a contentious struggle over workforce management and contractual rights.
In the latest effort to put his stamp on the federal work force, President Trump on Friday issued a memorandum invalidating government labor contracts finalized in the last 30 days before a presidential inauguration.
Federal employees should know that approved union contracts are enforceable by law, and the president does not have the authority to make unilateral changes to those agreements.
