Federal Worker Unions Short on Options During Trump Policy Blitz
The US Supreme Court and state courts have overturned injunctions that previously blocked key provisions of Trump-era executive orders aimed at weakening collective bargaining rights for federal workers. This decision revives efforts to expedite disciplinary actions and limit the scope of union activities. Labor unions are now grappling with how to respond, especially as key adjudication bodies like the Federal Labor Relations Authority face leadership vacancies and resource challenges. These developments could significantly reshape the landscape of federal labor relations and diminish protections for public sector employees.
