The White House announced on August 28, 2025, at 7:58 PM, the publication of an executive order titled “Further Exclusions from the Federal Labor-Management Relations Program.” This executive order outlines specific adjustments and expansions to the categories of federal employees and positions that are excluded from coverage under the Federal Labor-Management Relations Program.
This directive from the White House aims to refine the scope of the program, which governs labor-management relations within federal agencies, impacting collective bargaining, employee rights, and the operational frameworks for federal employee unions. The nature of these “further exclusions” suggests a targeted approach to specific roles or departments where the existing framework may be deemed less applicable or potentially disruptive to the efficient functioning of government operations.
While the specific details of the excluded positions and employee categories are not immediately available without accessing the full document, such executive orders typically address roles that involve sensitive national security functions, high-level policy-making, or positions that require a significant degree of independent discretion and judgment. The intention is often to ensure that certain critical governmental responsibilities are managed without the constraints that collective bargaining might impose.
The Federal Labor-Management Relations Program, established under Chapter 71 of Title 5, United States Code, provides federal employees with the right to organize, bargain collectively, and participate in labor-management relations. Exclusions from this program mean that employees in these designated roles will not have the same rights to union representation, collective bargaining over terms and conditions of employment, or the ability to engage in other protected union activities as those covered by the program.
This announcement signifies a continued effort by the current administration to review and adapt the federal workforce’s labor relations landscape. The implications of these further exclusions will be closely watched by federal employee unions, agency management, and policy analysts alike, as they will shape the participation of a segment of the federal workforce in the established labor-management relations framework. Further clarification on the specific agencies, positions, and reasons for these exclusions will likely emerge as the executive order is analyzed and implemented across federal agencies.
