President Trump says protecting national security gives him the authority to end collective bargaining with labor unions across most of the federal government, citing authority granted him under a 1978 law. His latest executive order, signed without public fanfare and announced late Thursday, appears to touch most of the federal government. Affected agencies include the departments of State, Defense, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Health and Human Services, Treasury, Justice, and Commerce, as well as the part of Homeland Security responsible for border security.
