President Trump signed an Executive Order (EO) on March 27, 2025, that ended collective bargaining for agencies that perform intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security functions. This impacts many Departments and agencies, including the VA, Department of Defense, and even the Department of Agriculture, to name a few.
This is a significant change, and agency heads are working with their general counsels to implement this EO as soon as possible. Review the complete details and the impacted agency list, which includes the suspension of the associated collective bargaining agreements (CBAs).
This action was required for the administration to expedite the Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans (ARRPs). They permit the identified agencies to expedite RIF actions and removals, decrease the time required for performance improvement plans, and return to in-person work for employees whose collective bargaining agreements (CBA) are canceled.
