Appeals court lifts block on Trump executive order targeting federal worker unions

  • A federal appeals court lifted a block on President Trump's March executive order targeting collective bargaining rights for federal workers on Friday.
  • The order aims to exclude over a dozen agencies that perform intelligence or national security functions from labor law protections, citing national security concerns.
  • The National Treasury Employees Union challenged the order, arguing it would harm bargaining power and membership, but the government agreed to preserve agreements during litigation.
  • The appeals court ruled 2-1 that the union failed to show irreparable harm and that the injunction blocking the order wrongly constrained presidential national-security prerogatives.
  • This ruling allows the administration to proceed with reshaping the federal workforce, but legal scrutiny and further challenges over the executive order's legality continue.
