The Environmental Protection Agency terminated its contracts with four unions on Friday, effective immediately. Among the four unions is the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest representing EPA employees.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency moved to end its contract with unionized employees, according to the union's president, the latest action in President Donald Trump’s push to weaken collective bargaining across the federal government.

Rep. Shontel Brown calls the move "a shameful assault" on VA employees, while the department claims it will improve veteran services and accountability.
