President Trump directed multiple federal agencies to terminate collective bargaining with unions, an action he claims is vital for national security. This move impacts several key departments, including Defense and Justice, potentially removing labor protections for numerous civil servants. The American Federation of Government Employees plans to legally challenge this directive, viewing it as an assault on workers' rights and a threat to democratic values. Trump's strategy aims to minimize union influence and reshape the federal workforce, creating tensions between his administration and labor advocates.
Unions have been a major obstacle in Mr. Trump's effort to slash the size of the federal work force and reshape the government to put it more directly under his control.
This administration's bullying tactics represent a clear threat not just to federal employees and their unions, but to every American who values democracy and the freedoms of speech and association.
