A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from eliminating union bargaining for thousands of workers across the federal government.
Siding with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and other unions, U.S. District Judge James Donato ruled that President Trump’s executive order letting several federal agencies dispense with union bargaining is likely unlawful.
Donato wrote in a 29-page opinion that federal workers have had the right to unionize and collectively bargain for better employment conditions for more than 60 years, and Trump’s order threatened that “long-standing status quo.”
The six unions that filed suit “appear to have been deemed hostile to the President,” he said.
