The Trump administration is taking significant steps to curtail union rights and influence, focusing on restricting labor union negotiations and pushing federal agencies to report the costs associated with union contracts. New guidance from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) emphasizes the need for agencies to identify the substantial financial implications of labor relations, as the Trump HR office aims to limit labor agreements ahead of potential mass layoffs. A recent memo is also drawing attention to the use of taxpayer funds in supporting union activities that oppose Trump’s policies, raising questions regarding government spending on union-related efforts. This concerted push reflects a broader strategy to reshape the relationship between federal employees and unions.
