USDA union leaders rally against proposed DC downsizing

USDA union leaders oppose the Trump administration's plan to relocate over 2,500 employees from Washington, D.C., to five regional offices, warning of widespread layoffs and reduced capacity to address core functions like food safety and pest control. The reorganization, led by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, aims to cut the department's D.C. workforce to 2,000 by 2025, with regional offices in cities including Raleigh, Kansas City, and Salt Lake City.
