DEFENDING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY:

In a move that has stirred significant debate, President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order leveraging the powers granted by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA). This order effectively terminates collective bargaining rights for Federal unions within several key agencies tasked with national security missions:

  • National Defense. This includes the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Coast Guard.

    • The VA plays a critical role as the healthcare provider for injured service members during wartime.
    • Research funded by the NSF is pivotal for advancements in military and cybersecurity technologies.

  • Border Security. Affected entities include the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its various components, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Justice’s Executive Office of Immigration Review, and the Office of Refugee Resettlement from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
  • Foreign Relations. This encompasses the Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development, the International Trade Administration within the Department of Commerce, and the U.S. International Trade Commission.

    • President Trump has previously articulated that trade policy serves as a significant tool of national security.

  • Energy Security. Agencies involved include the Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, and relevant units within the Department of Interior overseeing domestic energy production.

    • The same Congress that enacted the CSRA deemed energy insecurity as a threat to national security.

  • Pandemic Preparedness, Prevention, and Response. Within HHS, this includes the Secretary’s Office, Office of General Counsel, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, Food and Drug Administration, and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Department of Agriculture’s Office of General Counsel, Food Safety and Inspection Service, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service are also included.

    • COVID-19 and recent avian flu outbreaks have underscored the implications of foreign pandemics on national security.
    • The VA has also served as a key healthcare provider during national emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Cybersecurity. This affects the Office of the Chief Information Officer across cabinet-level departments, as well as DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the General Services Administration (GSA).

    • The FCC is responsible for maintaining the reliability and security of America’s telecommunications networks.
    • The GSA offers cybersecurity services to federal agencies to ensure the use of secure telecommunications products.

  • Economic Defense. This pertains to the Department of Treasury.

    • The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) defines national security as encompassing the protection of America’s economic strength. The Treasury Department is responsible for tax collection and maintaining the stability of the financial system.

  • Public Safety. This includes most divisions within the Department of Justice and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
  • Law Enforcement Exemptions. Police and firefighters will retain their collective bargaining rights.

ENSURING AGENCY EFFICIENCY:

The CSRA has been critiqued for allowing hostile Federal unions to impede agency management, an issue particularly concerning for organizations with national security mandates:

  • Agencies are constrained from altering policies outlined in collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) until those agreements reach their expiration dates.

    • The previous Biden Administration renegotiated numerous CBAs to extend through President Trump’s second term.

  • Agencies are limited in making necessary adjustments until after completing “midterm” union negotiations.

    • For instance, the FLRA ruled that ICE could not change cybersecurity policies without union negotiation first, delaying essential updates.

  • Unions have wielded their influence to obstruct the implementation of the VA Accountability Act; the Biden Administration was forced to reinstate over 4,000 unionized employees dismissed for inadequate performance or misconduct.

PROTECTING AMERICAN INTERESTS:

President Trump’s actions aim to enable essential agencies to fulfill their missions promptly, thereby safeguarding the American populace. A responsive and accountable civil service is crucial for national security.

  • Some Federal unions have openly opposed President Trump’s agenda.

    • The largest union has characterized its efforts as “fighting back” against him, frequently filing grievances to obstruct his policies.

    • For example, unions affiliated with the VA have submitted over 70 national and local grievances concerning President Trump’s policies since his inauguration—averaging more than one grievance per day.

  • Upholding national security represents a fundamental constitutional responsibility, and President Trump is determined to prevent union-related obstruction from hindering his mission of protecting Americans and their interests.
  • While President Trump is open to collaborating with unions that align with his objectives, he will not tolerate widespread obstruction that could compromise agency efficiency in matters of national security.
