 Aug. 13, 2025 | LABOR RELATIONS | The Environmental Protection Agency said Friday it will no longer recognize its federal labor unions and that all collective bargaining agreements are terminated, effective immediately. EPA’s announcement makes it the second known agency in a week to cancel collective bargaining for agency employees, following a similar announcement at the Department of Veterans Affairs two days earlier. “The Trump administration and EPA’s unlawful and authoritarian move to unilaterally strip EPA workers of their collective bargaining agreement and workplace rights is nothing short of an assault on our democracy, the rule of law, and the lives of working people in America. … We will see the administration in court.” AFGE Council 238 President Justin Chen said in a statement.
