The Trump Administration has voided collective-bargaining agreements across several federal agencies, starting with the cancellation of contracts covering more than 400,000 Department of Veterans Affairs employees. Similar contract terminations have been initiated at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other departments, effectively stripping affected staff of negotiated protections on wages, scheduling and workplace safety. Labor organizations, led by the American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO, condemned the move as the largest abrogation of federal union agreements in U.S. history. Dozens of Democratic lawmakers warned that the decision could erode veterans’ care, hobble environmental enforcement and diminish disaster-response capacity. Union leaders say they have enough bipartisan support in Congress to force a vote on the Protect America’s Workforce Act through a discharge petition and have called nationwide rallies to press for reinstatement of the contracts. Administration allies defended the policy. Representative Scott Franklin said ending what he called “wasteful contracts” would save taxpayers millions of dollars and reclaim roughly 750,000 hours that employees previously spent on union business, allowing the VA to concentrate on serving veterans. With unions preparing legal challenges and lawmakers weighing legislative remedies, the dispute sets up a high-stakes confrontation over the future of collective-bargaining rights for federal employees and the quality of services delivered by agencies central to veterans’ health, environmental protection and emergency management.
