IRS Cancels Union Contract, Affecting Thousands of Workers [View all]

The IRS told employees it’s canceling the contract with its union, which represents roughly two-thirds of the agency, to align with President Donald Trump’s executive orders.

“We have notified the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) that we have terminated the 2022 National Agreement and the 2025 Addendum,” Alex Kweskin, IRS chief human capital officer, said in a Friday email to employees seen by Bloomberg Tax. The IRS confirmed the action.

NTEU President Doreen Greenwald, however, said the IRS can’t end the collective bargaining agreement and expects the agency to continue to honor it.

“This is the system that Congress designed and that NTEU is fighting in the courts to preserve,” Greenwald said in a statement. The union sent a response to the IRS Friday.
