Forty-eight senators have introduced legislation to nullify former President Trump’s union executive orders. The initiative, originally reported by Government Executive, places a spotlight on continued debates surrounding labor policies. Observers note this development underscores a broader conversation about federal workplace governance.

In a significant move for federal workers, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has elected to de-recognize union representation for staff at multiple subagencies. HHS states that its aim is to remove “unnecessary obstacles” to work deemed essential for public health.
