The Trump administration has initiated measures to revoke collective bargaining rights for thousands of federal employees, particularly targeting workers at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This move has drawn strong criticism from labor unions and Democratic lawmakers, who argue that it undermines workers' rights and public safety. Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, described the action as "illegal and immoral." The administration's efforts have been characterized as part of a broader campaign to diminish union influence among federal workers. Union leaders and elected officials from various states, including Illinois, Nevada, and California, have voiced their opposition and pledged to support affected workers. The AFL-CIO has highlighted the ongoing struggle of unions under the current administration, emphasizing the importance of worker solidarity and collective bargaining in protecting fair wages, benefits, and public services. Planned rallies and public addresses, such as AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler's Labor Day State of the Unions speech, are expected to further mobilize opposition to the administration's policies.
