Trump Ends Union Contracts for Thousands of Federal Workers

from WSJ Opinion: Potomac Watch · host Paul Gigot, The Wall Street Journal

After President Trump invokes an exclusion for national security, several agencies terminate collective-bargaining deals with unionized government employees, including the VA, the EPA, and FEMA. Since most Americans aren't union members, is this a good political fight for Trump, who can argue that such contracts make Washington more expensive and less efficient?
