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
