US EditionTrump 2.0 at 100 days: an onslaught against workers
- The Trump administration reached its 100-day mark in April 2025 amid extensive layoffs and policy moves targeting federal workers across the United States.
- These actions follow executive orders removing long-standing federal job protections and efforts led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to reduce government staff.
- Significant actions include terminating more than 121,300 federal workers, shutting down upwards of 40 Labor Department offices, and preparing to reduce the workforce at the Department of Veterans Affairs by over 80,000 positions.
- According to research, approximately 14 million workers in the U.S. Make less than $15 an hour, while those represented by unions typically receive wages about 13.5% higher than their non-union counterparts. Despite this, the federal minimum wage has remained unchanged at $7.25 per hour for more than 15 years.
- These actions have spurred lawsuits, protests, and declining approval ratings, indicating ongoing conflict over labor rights and federal workforce treatment under this administration.
