America’s unions have had much to celebrate on recent Labor Days. Not this year.

President Donald Trump is trying to strip collective bargaining rights from approximately one million unionized federal workers. Just last week, he signed an executive order affecting union workers at federal agencies, including the National Weather Service and NASA, citing national security concerns. Earlier this year a similar order targeted unions at, among others, the departments of state, defense, justice and health and human services.

And because of the importance of public sector unions to the broader US labor movement, Trump’s moves could deal a massive blow to the union momentum that had been growing under President Joe Biden.
