President Donald Trump is undoing one of the last-second moves made by former President Joe Biden. 

Fox News reports that Trump, specifically, is lifting the collective bargaining agreements that Biden signed shortly before leaving office.

Trump is reported to have signed the measure on Friday evening.

This is another big blow to the Democrats.

Here's what is going on:

There is little secret about the fact that Biden specifically signed these collective bargaining agreements at the last moment of his administration in order to try to hinder the Trump administration's progress.

Fox explains:

Biden’s Social Security Administration Commissioner, Martin O’Malley, in December 2024 came to an agreement with the American Federation of Government Employees guaranteeing that the agency’s 42,000 employees would not have to work in office during the Trump administration.

That bears repeating: the Biden administration reached an agreement with federal employees such that the employees would not have to show up to the office to work.

If you find to understand why it is that the federal government would not require people to show up at the office to work, you are not alone.

It does not make sense to many Americans - including President Trump - which is exactly why he is now doing what he can to reverse the situation and to get government workers back to work.

The latest

The memo that Trump signed on Friday is designed to essentially remove the collective bargaining agreements reached by the Biden administration with federal government workers.

Fox explains:

The memo prohibits agencies from making new collective bargaining agreements during the final 30 days of a president’s term. It also directs agency heads to disapprove any collective bargaining agreements that Biden put through during the final 30 days of his term. The White House said collective bargaining agreements enacted before that time period will remain in effect while the Trump administration "negotiates a better deal for the American people."

Having said all of that, it is not exactly clear how this situation is going to play out. One would think that, as the chief executive, Trump would be able to make such a decision, but, in D.C., things are never that easy.

The Trump administration appears to be anticipating a legal pushback.

The New York Times reports:

It was unclear if the memo would survive legal pushback initiated by federal employee unions, though it appeared to anticipate legal challenges, noting that it should remain in force if a portion alluding to prohibited bargaining agreements from the Biden administration is found to be invalid.
