US EditionTrump cannot end union bargaining for federal workers, judge rules
UNITED STATES, JUN 25 – A federal judge blocked the order affecting nearly 1 million federal employees, ruling it likely violates First Amendment rights and unlawfully targets unions, according to court filings.
- On June 24, U.S. District Judge James Donato prevented the Trump administration from removing collective bargaining privileges for a large number of federal employees across roughly 20 agencies.
- The block came after President Trump issued an order on March 27 that removed collective bargaining requirements for numerous federal agencies, particularly those involved in national security or intelligence work.
- Judge Donato’s ruling applies to agencies including Justice, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, State, and Labor, pausing the order's implementation pending union lawsuits.
- Filings state the order affects about 75 percent of union-represented federal workers and seeks to limit unions' ability to contest policy changes legally.
- The ruling maintains collective bargaining rights for federal employees while legal challenges and appeals continue over the order’s scope and legality.
