DOGE v. Federal Employees
🔴 UPDATE: March 28, 2025
Trump Issues Executive Order to Crush Federal Unions, Silencing the Workers Who Keep Government Running
In a sweeping executive order issued late last night, Donald Trump has gutted collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of federal employees, invoking “national security” to dismantle the unions that represent the federal workforce.
The order targets nearly every major federal agency and explicitly singles out unions like AFGE and NTEU—two of the largest representing civil servants—as enemies of the administration’s agenda. This isn't about security. It's about eliminating the ability of federal workers to challenge abuse, speak out, or organize.
Key Developments:
The executive order strips collective bargaining rights from employees in over two dozen federal departments and agencies, including Defense, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, Energy, the State Department, and even the CDC. (White House Fact Sheet)
The administration justifies the order by claiming national security exemptions under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, arguing that union activity hinders agency performance—even in non-operational, non-combat roles. (AP News)
The White House accuses federal unions of “declaring war” on Trump’s policies, citing grievances filed over mismanagement and retaliation during his first year back in office.
AFGE and NTEU are preparing immediate legal challenges, calling the order unconstitutional and warning it sets a precedent for mass retaliation against public servants. (Politico)
The administration quietly released the order late at night, hoping to minimize backlash while delivering a massive blow to union power across the government. (The Guardian)
The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
This is not about national security. It’s about control. Trump is targeting the workers who make the government run because they’ve dared to challenge his incompetence and corruption.
The oligarchs win—again. When unions lose their voice, corruption wins. Abuses go unchecked. Whistleblowers are silenced. Oversight collapses. That’s the point.
And the people paying the price? Nurses at VA hospitals. Scientists at the CDC. Border officers who blow the whistle on illegal orders. This order isn’t just aimed at unions—it’s aimed at anyone in government who believes in doing their job with integrity.
🔍 Why This Matters:
Federal unions are often the last internal check against authoritarian overreach. They defend workers, safeguard public services, and hold leaders accountable. Trump wants them gone.
This isn’t just about management flexibility. It’s a purge. A way to remake the federal government into a political tool that serves only the White House and the robber barons who own it.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
This executive order is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s war on government workers has escalated into a war on democracy itself.
He doesn’t want a government that works—he wants one that obeys.
And if that means silencing every worker who might push back? So be it.
This isn’t about protecting America. It’s about consolidating power. And if we don’t stop it here, no civil servant will be safe from political retribution.

Until Congress steps up and stops this, which won't happen with Johnson in charge, he has carte blanche to do whatever he wants. This is illegal, but he will say he did not ask how they voted, only that they did. Maybe that's what should happen - Dems go and vote and then go to get the check.
Damn. No one even TRIES to stop the SOB.
