Trump to end collective bargaining with federal labor unions

President Trump is ordering the end of collective bargaining with most federal labor unions. Citing a 1978 law, the president said he has the authority to end collective bargaining with federal unions in agencies because of their role in safeguarding national security. The executive order affects most of the federal government, however police and firefighters will be exempt. The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 800-thousand government workers, said it is “preparing immediate legal action.”
