Court OKs Trump Order Curbing Federal Unions, Alarming Workers

Washington, D.C., USA: A federal appeals court has lifted an injunction, allowing a Trump administration order to strip collective bargaining rights from workers in several federal agencies. The ruling grants the White House broad leeway to reclassify positions under “national security” grounds, effectively sidestepping union negotiations. Federal employee unions warn it undermines worker protections and morale. While the administration insists it needs flexibility for sensitive roles, critics say it’s a step toward dismantling the civil service’s integrity.
