Technically he could.
But if you have been paying attention you might recall that Obama implemented the Dream Act with an EO.
Trump wrote an EO reversing that policy and the courts put a hold on that order and then said that ending it was unconstitutional.
The Dream act EO is just a few years old just imagine trying to reverse an EO over 60 years old.
I can remember when govt. employees didn’t have a union. Had less problems with govt. employees trying to usurp elected officials back then.
Unions have destroyed themselves.
An appropriate edit.
This is possibly the most objective work of reporting that I have ever encountered.
Oh sure, I really mean that.
IOW, it's BS. And if it were a Trump policy, I'd suggest adding to it a big federal income tax hike for unionized gubmint employees.
Public sector (government) employees at the local, state, or federal level should not now, nor should they ever have a right to be union.
There was never an Executive Order regarding “The Dream Act”.
It was simply a policy memorandum from Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.

Thanks
That makes it even more ridiculous that the courts think that it can’t be reversed.
Seems to me “secret” means Democrats.
Sounds like a plan... Admiral Rickover is somewhere in heaven jumping for joy over this...
Absolutely.
I’m liking it.
Nope. Ecstatic.
Government "workers" should NEVER have been allowed to unionize in the first place. When they sit at the table, they are across from US, their bosses. They should never be able to shake down taxpayers.
My first job out of engineering school was a field engineer for a boiler company. I worked on a startup job in Longview, Washington in the early 70s. The plant was in the final stages of construction when I arrived. That was when I learned all about unions.
The electricians there nicknamed themselves the "FLEs" which stood for "Fat, Lazy Electrician." That was all I needed to know about unions. At the tail end of the job, it was all instrument wiring and, management simply could NOT get those lazy featherbedding guys off the job site.
The electricians were in the same union with the instrument techs?
The electricians pulled all the wiring for the instrumentation (miles of it). They weren’t the techs. The startup crew wrung out all the wiring.
Hope it’s fake news otherwise it could cost Trump in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Not only e.o. government “worker” unions out of existence...begin cutting budgets of each department by 5-10% each year.
Cut Defense by 5-10%? Cut the VA by 5-10%? Cut prisons and ICE and Border Patrol by 5-10%? Air traffic controllers, food safety inspectors, Coast Guard, all by 5-10%?
