Some amazing news tonight, the White House announces President Trump has signed an Executive Order ending collective bargaining for all federal agencies with a national security mission. These include the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, State, Energy, Health and Human Services, all federal Information Offices, Treasury, most of Justice, and FEMA.
His rationale is that our national security requires there be no work stoppages in any of these agencies. Collective bargaining is therefore inimical to the nation's security. You need to realize the unions here banned will sue to stop this order, and the issue will likely be settled at the Supreme Court.
In my opinion this move is long overdue. I'd favor banning unions for all federal workers. Trump may view a wholesale ban as the proverbial "bridge too far."
