Last Thursday, the Trump administration escalated its war on workers by issuing an unprecedented Executive Order that strips over 1 million federal workers of their collective bargaining rights. Agencies have been ordered to terminate their collective bargaining agreements immediately and end payroll deductions for dues immediately.

What This Means

This is not just about AFGE. It’s not just about federal workers. It’s about all of us. An injury to one is an injury to all.

It’s a direct attack on our right to collective bargaining, ability to speak out and democracy itself.  Project 2025 laid this out clearly. They plan to dismantle the federal workforce, privatize public services, and eliminate union power. This is just the beginning — unless we stop them.
