Trump Is Wiping Out Unions. Why Are They So Quiet?

“Unions love to talk about how workers have the ultimate power; they can withhold their labor through strikes. They should use their power to target President Trump’s war on the working class.”

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
0 Share full article 贝 Mr. Trump and his administration have unilaterally stripped collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal workers. At the Department of Veterans Affairs alone, 400,000 workers, or 2.8 percent of America's unionized workers, have lost their collective bargaining rights because of an executive order that will eventually affect more than one million federal workers. Mr. Trump ushered in Labor Day weekend on Thursday by continuing his assault of federal unions, adding the Patent Office, NASA and the National Weather Service to his list of targeted agencies. Despite this assault on their very existence, we have barely heard a peep from unions. Where is organized labor in the public fight to maintain union jobs, stop the stripping of the safety net and lead the fight for democracy? Other than some statements and angry speeches, the movement has been muted.

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced it would terminate the contracts of 5 major unions representing more than 400,000 VA workers.

This is part of the Trump administration's plan to privatize veteran healthcare and put more money in the hands of corporations.

Here is the post I was referring to.

(Since deleted)
Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social 11h This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change. Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all. Eric Blanc @ericblanc.bsky.social 2h Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees - roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

BAY AREA: ALL EYES ON GAZA! 🗓️ Tues, August 12th ⏰ 6PM 📍Union Square, SF With an impending ground invasion in Gaza City, the occupation deliberately targeted journalists in Gaza including Anas al-Sharif in a calculated assault aimed at silencing Gaza's voice. The occupation is attempting to sever Gaza's lifeline to the world by targeting journalists and to isolate Gaza completely. The Israeli military made a statement after the assassination, claiming responsibility for the intentional targeting of Anas. Before he was martyred, Anas was warning about the impending ground invasion in to Gaza City, calling on the world to take action. We must take action. The Bay Area is answering the call to action to rise up for our martyrs. Join us TOMORROW for an emergency protest at the Union Square at 6:00pm to demand accountability for the assasination of journalists and an end to the genocide in Gaza.

SF Federal Workers, Seniors & Families Rally to Keep Social Security Strong On Its 90th Birthday  SAN FRANCISCO – On August 14th, Social Security turns 90 and San Francisco community leaders and Social Security workers represented by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) are demanding a fully staffed Social Security Administration that delivers the services that people across our region depend on. The rally is one of dozens of anniversary events organized by AFGE Social Security members across the country to keep Social Security strong nationwide.  Last week, a new analysis of SSA workforce data found that 46 states lost field office staff between March 2024 and March 2025. Before the Trump administration’s latest cuts and buyouts, CA’s 11th District had already lost 7% of its Social Security staff.  WHO: San Francisco Bay Area Social Security workers
 Representatives of the Alliance for Retired Americans Community members and other SF federal workers
 WHEN: Thursday, August 14 at 11:30am  WHERE: Federal Building, 90 7th Street, SF, 94103 .  INTERVIEWS, PHOTOS & B-ROLL AVAILABLE WHAT & WHY:  On August 14, Social Security turns 90. For generations, Americans have joined together across the political spectrum to ensure older Americans who’ve worked hard to build our communities and economy have the freedom to retire and thrive with dignity. But Social Security is under siege. As inflation is increasing prices for everything from doctor's visits to groceries, the Trump administration has made the largest staffing cut in Social Security’s history, indiscriminately cutting more than 7,000 positions, including those with the most experience and knowledge. As the Washington Post and NPR have reported, these cuts have exacerbated wait times and poorer customer service for millions of people.  The rally in SF is one of dozens of 90th birthday events organized by Social Security workers, AFGE members, and beneficiaries.
