The administration of President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit claiming that dozens of labor contracts between unions and federal agencies are invalid because they impede Trump's abilities to purge the federal workforce and protect national security.

The departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and four other agencies sued in Waco, Texas, federal court late on Thursday seeking a ruling that an executive order, opens new tab issued by Trump earlier in the day excluding certain agencies from collective bargaining requirements allows them to cancel existing contracts.

If all these federal agencies are exempt from CBA coverage now due to their importance to national security, doesn’t that national security designation also explicitly exempt them from RIFs and hiring freezes under Trump’s own EOs? These people can’t ever get their lies straight. Pick a fucking lane.

Going to be tough to find a judge that takes one look at the national security carve-outs in those contracts and doesn't tell them to hit da bricks.
