August 28, 2025
Shortly before Labor Day, President Trump issued an Executive Order citing a narrow "national security" exception to remove even more federal workers from the their statutory right to collective bargaining and the labor protections of the the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. Employees affected by this order include those in the Patent and Trade Office, International Trade Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This order builds on retaliatory exclusions President Trump previously announced in Executive Order 14251 in April 2025.
