Re: “...didn’t President Trump make an EO allowing those minions to be fired?”

Yes...
President Donald Trump on Friday [May 25, 2018] issued a series of executive orders to weaken the influence of government unions and make it easier for agencies to fire civil servants.
The orders will standardize agency rules to make it easier and quicker to remove poorly performing employees. They also direct federal agencies to renegotiate their labor contracts and cap the amount of paid time that workers can take off to conduct union-related business.
