US EditionDODEA teachers union sues Trump, Hegseth over order cutting bargaining rights
- Unions representing over 5,400 teaching and support staff in schools run by the Department of Defense Education Activity initiated legal action on Monday in the U.S. District Court located in the District of Columbia.
- The lawsuit challenges President Trump’s March 27 executive order that excludes certain federal workers, including DODEA educators, from collective bargaining rights citing national security concerns.
- The complaint alleges that DODEA has repudiated its collective bargaining obligations by canceling union dues deductions and failing to pay back wages owed to nearly 500 employees.
- FEA Executive Director Richard Tarr asserted that Trump's executive order not only contravenes legal statutes but also infringes upon the U.S. Constitution, and the lawsuit aims to obtain injunctions to prevent the government from enforcing the order.
- The case signals ongoing disputes over federal labor rights and could shape protections for educators serving more than 64,000 military-connected students worldwide.
