Congressional Discussion on Trump's Executive Order Affecting Union Rights

Published | Video Starts at 00:27

And frankly, I don't think we're hearing enough about in the news. But it is what I believe is Donald Trump's most dangerous attack on the rights of working people thus far. Last Thursday night, President Trump signed an executive order that fundamentally undercuts union and labor rights that Americans have counted on for 100 years. The executive order strips the rights to organize and to bargain away from one and a half million federal employees. And that's just where he wants to start. (00:27–00:39)
