But, barring a legal intervention, the moves could kneecap federal unions and protections for many civil service employees just as workers brace for a new round of job cuts across the government.<\/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\">\u201cThey are hobbling the union, ripping up collective bargaining agreements, and then they will come for the workers,\u201d said Brian Kelly, a Michigan-based employee of the Environmental Protection Agency who heads a local of the American Federation of Government Employees, the country\u2019s largest federal employee union. \u201cSo, it\u2019s a worst-case scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The move added to the list of actions by Mr. Trump to use the levers of the presidency to weaken perceived enemies, in this case seeking to neutralize groups that represent civil servants who make up the \u201cdeep state\u201d he is trying to dismantle. In issuing the order, Mr. Trump said he was using congressionally granted powers to designate certain sectors of the federal work force central to \u201cnational security missions,\u201d and exempt from collective-bargaining requirements. Employees of some agencies, like the F.B.I. and the C.I.A., are already excluded from collective bargaining for these reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But, with his order, Mr. Trump added exemptions for many workers in the Veterans Affairs, Treasury and Energy Departments as well as the E.P.A., among others. Huge portions of the Department of Health and Human Services were also designated as vital to national security, in addition to \u201cmost components\u201d of the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The order was clear in its purpose: to neutralize groups that have been able \u201cto obstruct agency management.\u201d<\/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\">\u201cThe goal is to stop employees in certain security-related agencies from unionizing in ways that disrupt the president\u2019s agenda,\u201d said Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since Mr. Trump returned to office in January and began imposing large-scale reductions in the government work force, federal employee unions, and particularly A.F.G.E., have taken on new visibility and a central role in challenging the Trump administration. The unions have scored some successes in court challenging cuts related to the efforts of Elon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency. Labor leaders have emerged as vocal champions for federal workers \u2014 and sharp critics of Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A.F.G.E. has seen a surge of tens of thousands of new dues-paying members since January, union officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Samuel R. Bagenstos, a University of Michigan law professor and former general counsel to the Department of Health and Human Services, said the executive order would be vulnerable to \u201cvery significant\u201d legal challenges, calling it \u201ca dramatic overreach of the president\u2019s authority\u201d under laws governing the federal work force. The effort to justify the move under rules for national security employees is a stretch, Mr. Bagenstos said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHere we have this incredibly broad effort to take away the power of any union to represent any employee,\u201d Mr. Bagenstos said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Union officials said on Friday they feared the president\u2019s actions could be catastrophic for their organizations on multiple fronts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">They said the cancellation of collective bargaining agreements for many workers would have the immediate effect of ending collection of dues from those workers\u2019 paychecks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Leaders at A.F.G.E. estimated that 75 percent of their 300,000 dues-paying members use paycheck deductions. Now, the union will have to convince members to make direct payments online to the union, they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What\u2019s more, union leaders said, the president\u2019s actions could deal a lethal blow to their most potent weapon so far against the Trump administration and its DOGE-led cuts, the federal court system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, the unions would no longer be the representative of workers, which means a judge might find they no longer have legal standing to sue on their behalf, union leaders and lawyers said. Mr. Fields, the White House spokesman, said as much on Friday: \u201cBecause of this litigation, unions impacted by the executive order would no longer be able to represent agency employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Unions said they would fight back. Speaking on Friday at a news conference on Capitol Hill, the president of A.F.G.E., Everett Kelley, called the executive order \u201cplainly retaliatory,\u201d and said: \u201cThe labor movement will not be silenced.\u201d Randy Erwin, the national president of the National Federation of Federal Employees \u2014 another union affected by the order \u2014 called it \u201cthe biggest assault on collective bargaining rights that we have ever seen in this country,\u201d and called it \u201cblatantly illegal and unconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A.F.G.E.\u2019s leadership held an emergency meeting late Thursday to discuss the order. While the union\u2019s leadership has braced for major assaults on the work force, some leaders did not see such a dramatic move coming, according to one person involved in the discussion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other union officials have described preparing for such a moment, given Mr. Trump\u2019s efforts during his first administration to diminish the power of federal unions and to remove protections on civil service jobs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Federal law imposes restrictions on federal employees. Union membership cannot be mandated, for one, and federal employees cannot strike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Technically, A.F.G.E. represents 800,000 workers, but the majority of them do not pay dues. In the frenzy of new sign-ups and newly engaged members, union leaders said in interviews that they were often explaining to workers what exactly a union can do for them. Some workers have been frustrated by the limitations of the unions\u2019 power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The way forward, said Mr. Kelly, the A.F.G.E. local leader from Michigan, was clear: The union had to make its case known not only to federal workers but to Americans. \u201cYou are going to have no voice in your workplace. You need people to really see how dangerous this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Tyler Pager<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
