A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump’s administration’s effort to terminate multiple collective bargaining agreements between federal agencies and unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE). Judge Alan Albright ruled that the agencies lacked legal standing to challenge such agreements, supporting AFGE’s argument.
This decision complicates Trump’s broader strategy to reduce union power within the federal workforce. However, the White House maintains that the President is exercising lawful executive authority for national security reasons. AFGE, representing over 800,000 workers, has not commented on the ruling.
The Trump administration’s executive order sought to exempt agencies with specific security functions, such as counterintelligence, from union obligations. Yet, federal courts have continued to block this implementation, highlighting the judiciary’s role in preventing premature executive actions.
