Revolving Door Project Decries Trump’s Assault On Federal Employees’ Labor Rights

In response to President Trump’s instruction to government agencies to end collective bargaining rights with federal worker unions, Revolving Door Project Executive Director Jeff Hauser issued the following statement:

“Contrary to what Trump, Musk, and even neoliberals claim, a strong civil service is critical to the country. Few innovations have served the public interest more than the government permitting public employees to band together and create the protection of a union against politicians carrying water for America's most rapacious and least moral corporations. And the advent of DOGE makes the protections of a union even more critical to ensuring public servants can work for the broader public and rein in favors for Trump’s elite donors like Musk.

It is time for all decent forces to condemn Trump and Musk's unlawful actions and decry the assault on the right of public employees to organize.”

The Revolving Door Project (RDP) scrutinizes executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement.
