Pivoting from your post I feel that this is the next step in the plan

I am pretty sure that the existence of the Government “unions” is via an Executive order, not by law

I could be proven wrong but if so the Trump by the “stroke of the pen” could issue an EO removing that hindrance and major obstacle from his path. All of the Union rules that are in place now create many hurdles from removing them and their incompetence from needed reforms and reformation of agencies and departments. I will predict that if indeed and EO will remove all of that he will do so, and there will be no recourse for them to sue as it is not a law, merely a practice hiding under a previous administrations largess and even conspiracy to embed them like ticks

If he can do it I say Godspeed and lets remove this insidious practice once and for all. It even bleeds down into the Edutocracy who has State consitution’s giving them a virtual headlock on delivery. And a point I wish to make about that, if they are “charged: with proving that education then are they not failing in that responsibility by “graduating” students who are in truth functionally in large part incapable of gainful employment without attending the next step in their scheme

“Colleges and Universities” themselves infested with Liberal and progressive instructors who have never worked a day in their lives in that which they teach?

This to me smacks of a larger conspiracy, and I call for it to be exposed and brought to heel!

I looked it up and you are right. I thought government worker right to join unions was via statute, but it was definitely created through EO:

Wiki "Executive Order 10988"

Executive Order 10988 is a United States presidential executive order issued by President John F. Kennedy on January 17, 1962 that recognized the right of federal employees to collective bargaining. This executive order was a breakthrough for public sector workers, who were not protected under the 1935 Wagner Act.

Passage of the executive order forestalled the legislative Rhodes-Johnson Union Recognition bill, which would have given more power to federal employee unions, possibly creating a union shop arrangement.

Executive Order 10988 was effectively replaced by President Richard Nixon's Executive Order 11491 in 1969.

Labor historians believe that Executive Order 10988 served as a model for public sector unionism, even for local, municipal and state employees. Membership in AFSCME increased substantially during the 1960s and 1970s, and 22 states legalized collective bargaining for public sector workers. Public sector strikes also increased many times over.

In June 2018, the Supreme Court decision in the case of Janus v. AFSCME found that application of public sector union fees to government employees who are not union members represents compelled speech, and as such is a violation of First Amendment rights. This decision by the Supreme Court potentially reduces funding for Unions that represent Federal Government employees. Some have proposed repeal of Executive Order 10988, which could potentially occur if the President were to issue an executive order vacating Executive Order 10988.
