Trump Moves to Invalidate Recent Labor Agreements With Federal Workers

Published On Jan 31, 2025, 8:05 PM

President Trump has issued a memo to invalidate recent federal labor contracts that were finalized within the 30 days prior to a presidential inauguration, characterizing these agreements as attempts to undermine his authority. The memo specifically targets contracts negotiated by unions at various agencies, which sought to protect flexibility in remote work and other practices from the previous administration. The legality of this move may face challenges from federal employee unions who argue that established contracts are legally binding and cannot be altered unilaterally by the president.
