American Academy of Diplomacy Supports Collective Bargaining Rights for National Security Agencies

 The American Academy of Diplomacy issued a statement on 1 April 2025 titled "Ending Collective Bargaining Rights for National Security Agencies is a Profound Mistake."

The American Academy of Diplomacy issued a statement that opposes the President's executive order ending collective bargaining rights for employees of national security agencies, including the Department of State.  The executive order opens "the federal workforce to intimidation, harassment, and mistreatment" and is an attempt "to politicize a professional workforce that has been a faithful and nonpartisan partner of our elected leadership for over 100 years."
