The need to end collective bargaining with federal unions in these agencies is because of their role in safeguarding national security, according to the order.
"President Trump is taking action to ensure that agencies vital to national security can execute their missions without delay and protect the American people. The President needs a responsive and accountable civil service to protect our national security," according to a White House fact sheet regarding the order.
