Last night, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Texas on behalf of eight agencies against affiliates of the American Federation of Government Employees.
Yesterday, the President issued an Executive Order entitled Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs. This order reflected the President’s determination that several federal agencies and subdivisions perform investigative and national security work and that those agencies may not be required to collectively bargain consistent with our national security.
The plaintiff agencies have collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with the defendants, which are locals, councils, and Division 10 of the American Federation of Government Employees; those CBAs prevent the plaintiffs from implementing workforce policies that would help them further their national security missions.
The plaintiff agencies therefore wish to terminate their CBAs. But to avoid unnecessary labor strife and to ensure legal certainty, they filed this declaratory judgment action to confirm that they are legally entitled to do so.

Notice the venue.
Lol.
Nothing gets done until they get rid of these DEI morons and activist democrat operatives on the bench.
Fire them and get judges who have actually READ the Constitution.
TX - good catch.
LOL! Awesome!
BTTT
Look at the venue!
“Notice the venue.”
Indeed! It’s not in Washington, DC.
If there is an appeal the next level up will also be in Texas.
In practical terms that means the union is in deep trouble since they would have to go all the way to the Supreme Court to even have a slight hope of a favorable ruling.
Meanwhile there will be lower court rulings banning their unions—which in turn means that all union lawsuits against the administration will have no standing any longer.
This is some serious hardball.
Congrats to the DOJ for getting a little creative and going on offense.
HOW ABOUT JUDGES WHO ARE BORN HERE & ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONSTITUTION & THE WHOLE FRAMEWORK OF THIS COUNTRY.
“Notice the venue.”
Well played DOJ. Well played.
Dude in the sombrero pretty natty
