Congressional Discussion on Trump's Executive Order Affecting Union Rights

Published | Video Starts at 03:22

So let's talk about how Trump taking away collective bargaining rights impacts health care. Federal employees will continue to be fired without due process because they don't have union representation, and they'll lose their health care. CDC employees that are protecting us from the next pandemic can be fired without the security of a collective bargaining agreement. Justice Department lawyers prosecuting things like health care fraud can lose their jobs because they're not Trump's political lackeys, but they've lost protections and collective bargaining. (03:22–03:31)
