Summary

Trump is nullifying federal employee union contracts negotiated in Biden’s final days.

Affected contracts include one with the Education Department ratified just before his inauguration. Trump cited a 2010 Supreme Court decision to justify his stance but did not provide a clear legal basis.

Federal employee unions, representing 800,000 workers, vowed legal action, calling Trump’s move unlawful intimidation.

This continues Trump’s prior efforts to weaken job protections, with additional plans to reclassify and lay off civil servants.

    No, he does care who suffers. It’s his entire goal.

      That’s a misconception about narcissists. He really doesn’t care, as long as he benefits. He’s a team of one, and everything else is negotiable.
