Ranking Member Thompson Statement on Trump’s Union Busting Executive Order
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released the below statement on President Trump’s latest executive order attacking the Federal workforce and attempting to end collective bargaining rights at dozens of agencies:
“President Trump’s latest union busting executive order straight from Project 2025 continues his nonstop assault on the Federal workforce. This order claims to be putting national security first, but we all know Trump is doing nothing of the sort. He is using national security as an excuse to further demoralize and inflict whatever pain he can on the Federal workforce as his other efforts are floundering in the courts. In fact, he gives away that this is purely a political exercise when he exempts a union that supported his campaign. Union busting isn't good anywhere – and it sure isn't good for national security or for the hardworking people at DHS. They deserve better."
