Includes cleaning, maintenance and cafeteria workers as critical to the functioning of the federal government.
Could not pass CONgress so just sign an executive order.
US is now a corrupt dictatorship by oligarchs just doing whatever they want.

Can we tie all these EOs up in court through our conservative judges that Trump appointed all over the country?

The Federal government is the hiring authority for the 3rd party contractors. Why is this a problem?
It will most likely fail hilariously.

They probably are all paying that much or more already.

Contractors will just raise the price.....and inflation will be the result.
Stupid Government policy.....can we name ONE good policy he has enacted? I CANNOT!!!

Some union contracts are tied to the minimum wage, no?

Elections have consequences, even stolen ones.

It won’t impact existing contracts. If he tries to apply this to existing federal contacts, he opens every single one of them to be subject of protests by non-successful bidders due to changing scope of the requirements. Once a contract award is under protest, it immediately gets issued a stop-work order.
So, this will only apply to future contracts.

while this is true, does the president have the power of the office to mandate pay? what if he said $20/hr or $30 or $100?

The president shouldn’t be able to wave a magic wand and pay anyone in the executive branch (which is an absurd amount of people) whatever he wants. Aren’t wage scales set by congress?

Another tax placed on the backs of the middle class

This EO just seems to be a huge virtue signal, that really doesn't change anything. Those people are already making that much

I guess those $500 hammers at the Pentagon are now $15000 hammers.

It has been like this for quite a long time. You are just starting to realize this fact

That is going to impact the company I work for big time.

So now all the bids for government projects will be higher.
This cost passed straight to the taxpayers.

Infrastructure contractor at a Gov site. We have a medical facility, engineering teams, but also groundskeepers, cafeteria workers, cleaning staff...IDK what they make now, but I assume this would be more for some of them.
