WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge on Saturday rejected key elements of President Donald Trump’s May executive orders that would make it easier to fire federal employees and reduce their ability to bargain collectively.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said in a court order that Trump’s orders, which also would reduce the amount of time low-performing employees had to improve their performance before being fired, “undermine federal employees’ right to bargain collectively.”
Trump signed three executive orders in May that administration officials said would give government agencies greater ability to remove employees with “poor” performance, obtain “better deals” in union contracts and require federal employees with union responsibilities to spend less time on union work.
The directives drew immediate criticism from the American Federation of Government Employees, which said the moves would hurt veterans, law enforcement officers and others.
Jackson ruled that while the president has the authority to issue executive orders relating to federal labor relations, the orders cannot “eviscerate the right to bargain collectively” as envisioned in a long-standing federal statute.
“The President must be deemed to have exceeded his authority in issuing (the orders),” Jackson ruled.

The pigment-protected progressive-leftist black female has spoken! None dare question the proclamations of our leftist judicial overlords!
An obvious failure as well that couldn’t keep employment outside of the government. Four attempts at private practice, with the longest being 3 years.
What a shocker!
lemme guess
Ketanji? What is a ketanji?
and this is exactly why federal employee unions are a conflict of interest
Oh, for God’s sake! My brother works in the VA, and one of their biggest problems is inability to get rid of dead-weight employees. That obviously has a big impact on the quality of care that can be given, not to mention making good employees’ quality of workplace lousy. (Dedicated employees are severely overworked trying to actually make “sufficient for the needs” efforts.)
Trump should absolutely excoriate* this judge for causing poorer, probably life-threatening in some cases, care, to be given.
*The first meaning, not the second!
What statute?
Yes, these judges are horrible.
But in this case it could have been worse—she’s only 47 now, but Obama was vetting her as a possible USSC Justice:
“On February 26, 2016, the National Law Journal reported that Obama administration officials were vetting Jackson as a potential nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Barack Obama.[16] In March 2016, the Washington Post[17] and the Associated Press[18] confirmed that information, and Reuters reported that Jackson was one of five candidates interviewed as a potential nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy.[19]”

She was appointed by the Seditious Halfrican Clown.
It’s the letter in Swahili after Jumanji
Good one.....
This is a revenge ruling against President Trump by this seditious Democrat swine-judge.
...........for the sole purpose of disrupting the legal process
Now he's causing the black-robed Lefty clowns on the Federal courts to break themselves with their openly partisan Democrat rulings.
“Ketanji”?
Am I a racist if I don’t bother to look?
Yes! My pet amoeba is named Ketanji.
Yet another example of the failure of the racist, so-called affirmative-action”. The President needs to ignore this proto-fascista’s rulings. Did someone elect this nitwit President? Did i miss something? Maybe I slept through that election day...
“undermine federal employees’ right to bargain collectively”
Which exists ONLY because of another EO issued by John Kennedy and which is NOT a RIGHT
So any one of 600+ judges have a veto on Executive Branch Orders.
Congress could remedy this in a moment, but since all rats and half of the GOP oppose good and support evil, there isn’t a chance.
What if lower court judges had to explain themselves?
