WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump moved Thursday to end collective bargaining with federal labor unions in agencies with national security missions across the federal government, citing authority granted him under a 1978 law.
The order, signed without public fanfare and announced late Thursday, appears to touch most of the federal government. Affected agencies include the Departments of State, Defense, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Health and Human Services, Treasury, Justice and Commerce and the part of Homeland Security responsible for border security.
Police and firefighters will continue to collectively bargain.
Trump said the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 gives him the authority to end collective bargaining with federal unions in these agencies because of their role in safeguarding national security.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers, said late Thursday that it is preparing immediate legal action and will fight relentlessly to protect our rights, our members, and all working Americans from these unprecedented attacks.
President Trumps latest executive order is a disgraceful and retaliatory attack on the rights of hundreds of thousands of patriotic American civil servants nearly one-third of whom are veterans simply because they are members of a union that stands up to his harmful policies, AFGE National President Everett Kelley said.
Fuck Trump!

I thought the DoD didn't have unions. At least, they didn't at the agency I worked at...

Yup, you just know that Republicans want to finish the job and completely kill unions once and for all.

Huh. That's interesting. Different agencies in the DoD has different rules about unionizing.

That's really weird.

Probably the first thing he's done that the Supreme Court might actually agree with somehow.
