But it targets agencies across the government, including the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, State, Treasury and Energy, most of the Justice Department, and parts of the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal workers union, estimated that the order would strip labor protections from hundreds of thousands of civil servants, and said it was preparing legal action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis administration\u2019s bullying tactics represent a clear threat not just to federal employees and their unions, but to every American who values democracy and the freedoms of speech and association,\u201d Everett Kelley, the union\u2019s president, said in a statement. \u201cTrump\u2019s threat to unions and working people across America is clear: fall in line or else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Unions have been a major obstacle in Mr. Trump\u2019s effort to slash the size of the federal work force and reshape the government to put it more directly under his control. They have repeatedly sued over his blizzard of executive actions, winning at least temporary reprieves for some fired federal workers and blocking efforts to dismantle portions of the government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To claim authority to cancel the union contracts under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, Mr. Trump expanded the list of agencies exempt from provisions of laws governing federal labor relations for national security reasons. In doing so, he adopted an expansive view of national security, one that encompasses agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. International Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The American Federation of Government Employees said Mr. Trump\u2019s order was illegal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Mr. Trump signed the order, the affected agencies filed a lawsuit on Thursday in Texas against the unions representing federal employees, seeking to rescind their collective bargaining agreements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government argued that the agreements \u201csignificantly constrain\u201d the executive branch and hinder the president\u2019s \u201cefforts to protect the United States from foreign and domestic threats.\u201d In the filing, the government contended that the Biden administration extended the labor agreements for five years shortly after Mr. Trump won the election in November. The government also raised concerns about the contracts\u2019 return-to-work policies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The executive order is the latest step in Mr. Trump\u2019s wide-ranging effort to drastically overhaul the federal bureaucracy, which he has assigned Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to oversee. Mr. Musk said in an interview that aired Thursday on Fox News that he was trying to reduce the federal deficit by $1 trillion, and to cut $4 billion every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Federal workers are already bracing for major new cuts. Mr. Trump signed<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>an executive order aimed at dismantling the Education Department last week, and on Thursday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, announced that he was laying off 10,000 employees as part of a broad reorganization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
