Revocation of Executive Order Creating Labor- Management Forums

Executive Order 2017-21559
Signed on September 30, 2017
45th Presidency

What it means

This order revokes a previous Executive Order that established labor-management forums in the federal government. President Trump determined these forums used taxpayer resources without delivering meaningful benefits or improving collaboration in the federal workforce.

Expected impact

  • Elimination of the National Council on Federal Labor-Management Relations and related agency forums
  • Potential reduction in government spending on what the administration deemed ineffective programs
  • No impact on existing collective bargaining agreements, which remain in effect
  • Possible concerns from federal employee unions about reduced formal collaboration opportunities
