Trump EO Orders Gov't Agencies to End Collective Bargaining with Federal Unions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In labor news, Trump has signed an executive order stripping union
rights from hundreds of thousands of federal workers, ordering 18
departments to stop engaging in any collective bargaining. Trump cited
so-called national security concerns. The American Federation of
Government Employees is challenging the order in court and said in a
statement, "Trump's threat to unions and working people across America
is clear: fall in line or else. These threats will not work."
