A federal judge on June 24th blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from eliminating collective bargaining for hundreds of thousands of federal workers in 21 agencies, and found that unions suing the administration on the move are likely to succeed in their lawsuit.
The ruling comes from a lawsuit filed by the Federation of the US Government (AFGE) and other unions in April, with President Donald Trump’s March 27 executive order removing collective bargaining rights from around 950,000 federal employees.
