- USDA union leaders rally against proposed DC downsizing
USDA union leaders are protesting a proposed relocation of over 2,500 employees from Washington, D.C., to regional offices, which they argue will lead to layoffs and hinder the department's core services. The Trump administration's plan, led by USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, aims to reduce the D.C. workforce to 2,000 by 2025, with employees moving to locations in North Carolina, Missouri, Indiana, Colorado, and Utah. The USDA has already lost over 20,000 employees since Trump's return to office, and critics warn further cuts will impact wildfire response and other critical functions.
