Trump plans to throw out federal workers’ union contracts
The president said agreements reached late in Joe Biden's presidency were meant to "harm my Administration."
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.

It’s time for a general strike
yes, yes it is. now how do we organize 15-30% of the country for meaningful direct action?
Federal union workers will be a good start. The rest will and must follow. Let's fucking go!
it is a start. fraught with danger, but I would join an organized strike with donations and time to keep union members fed and housed. the us has a history of turning guns on protests. I am... concerned.
