Who is praying on the wall?

The order, titled “Exclusions from federal labor-management relations programs,” is expansive, and applies to workers across more than a dozen agencies within the Departments of State, Defense, Veterans Affairs, Energy, Health and Human Services, Treasury, Justice, and Commerce and the part of Homeland Security responsible for border security.

In addition to the agencies under those departments, the order covers all agencies with the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, the United States Agency for International Development, the United States International Trade Commission, and the General Services Administration. …

Ending collective bargaining with federal unions in these agencies is necessary because of their role in national security, the order states.

According to the order, it has been determined that the agencies “have as a primary function intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work.”

Trump signed the order using his authority granted under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, according to a White House fact sheet. …

“President Trump is taking action to ensure that agencies vital to national security can execute their missions without delay and protect the American people,” the fact sheet states. …

Allowing government workers to unionize “enables hostile Federal unions to obstruct agency management,” while certain federal unions have “declared war on President Trump’s agenda,” according to the fact sheet. …
