Further Exclusions From the Federal Labor- Management Relations Program
On August 28, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14343, which expands exclusions from the Federal Labor-Management Relations Program for certain federal agencies and subdivisions. The order identifies specific agencies, such as units within the Bureau of Reclamation, parts of the Department of Commerce, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), as primarily involved in intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work. Consequently, these agencies are deemed incompatible with Chapter 71 of Title 5 of the U.S. Code, which governs labor-management relations, due to national security concerns. The order also extends the deadline for certain orders related to these exclusions to be issued by the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
