Trump’s Project 2025 is the 920-page document, written by at least 140 Trump advisers and former (and likely future) leaders in the Trump administration, that spells out what they plan to do during a Trump second term.
The AFL-CIO broke it down for us: How would this agenda affect union members and working families?
We are deeply concerned about pro-corporate policies that would drive up costs, put people out of work, endanger people’s lives and make it harder for working people to get ahead. For unions, this agenda would make it tougher for members to win gains in our next contracts and stack the deck in favor of CEOs.

Here’s some more specifics on how the Project 2025 agenda, via the Federal Workers Alliance:
● Fire federal civil servants and end their job protections in order to replace them with political partisan loyalists through “Schedule F.”
● Eliminate public sector unions.
● Create company-controlled unions in the private sector (which are currently illegal).
● End exclusive representation for existing unions.
● Limit health and safety inspections of workplaces to only employers they consider “egregious offenders.”
● Narrow the definition of what is protected concerted activity.
● Eliminate voluntary recognition of unions.
● Treat laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act or OSHA as “negotiable defaults” and not minimum floors of worker protection.
● Pass legislation allowing state-level waivers from federal labor laws like the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
● End Project Labor Agreements that create living-wage jobs on public contracts.
● Repeal the Davis-Bacon Act requiring that prevailing wages be paid.
