US cancels FDA bargaining session over layoffs
6/5/2025 19:58
The Trump administration last week canceled the first bargaining session scheduled with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's largest workers union since its ability to represent government staff was temporarily restored by a federal court, according one of the union's bosses.
U.S. President Donald Trump in March signed an executive order that excluded agencies from collective bargaining obligations that he said "have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work."
The order applied to the FDA, as well as agencies under the Justice, State, Defense, Treasury and Veterans Affairs departments.
