Headline: New York Times, 7/3/2025
Maxine Joselow reports:
Justin Chen, second vice president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents more than 8,000 E.P.A. workers, said the agency’s moves were “clearly an act of retaliation.” He said the union would “protect our members to the full extent of the law.”
In the letter that prompted today’s action, which was sent on Monday to Lee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, the employees voiced concern that the agency had made decisions based on a political agenda, not on science and the law.
Recent E.P.A. news releases and newsletters have echoed some of President Trump’s comments on the environment, the letter said, citing agency statements describing coal as “beautiful” and “clean.” Coal is the dirtiest of the fossil fuels and is a significant source of greenhouse gases.
