A federal judge on Friday blocked President Trump’s executive order to strip federal workers of their ‘collective bargaining’ rights.
Last month President Trump issued an executive order blocking hundreds of thousands of federal workers in HHS, Veterans, Treasury and other federal agencies.
The National Treasury Employees Union sued the Trump Administration in response to the executive order.
US District Judge Paul Friedman, a Clinton appointee, blasted Trump earlier this week during a hearing on this case.
“So, he’s willing to be kind to those that work with him, but those that have sued him, those that have filed grievances, those that have complained against him, he’s not going to bargain with,” Judge Friedman said, according to Politico. “I mean how else can you read what he’s done?”
On Friday, Friedman called Trump’s executive order “unlawful” and enjoined all defendants except President Trump. He said he would release an opinion in the next few days.
AP reported:
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from implementing an executive order that a labor union says would cancel collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of federal employees.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman ruled that a key part of President Donald Trump’s March 27 order can’t be enforced at roughly three dozen agencies and departments where employees are represented by the National Treasury Employees Union.
The union, which represents nearly 160,000 federal government employees workers, sued to challenge Trump’s order. The union said it would lose more than half of its revenue and over two-thirds of its membership if the judge denied its request for a preliminary injunction.
Trump wanted scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning. Some judge in Rhode Island said he couldn’t.
Trump is trying to undo JFK’s leftism.
“A federal judge on Friday blocked President Trump’s executive order...”
Why did we have an election? It was all a waste and apparently nothing is going to be done to put a stop to this nonsense that is ruining America.
I can’t believe we as voters are putting up with this. This has to be stopped because it is obviously a coup.
By my count that’s 5 this week. Nice job Roberts.
Union rights? Is a privilege, not a right, to be licensed Us gov worker.
Maybe Rafak should help. The precedents under covid vax making fed job a suspendable privilege makes this judge ‘s order null and void.
Activists make very very very bad judges
Another day, another judge shopped injunction what’s new?
“Why did we have an election? It was all a waste and apparently nothing is going to be done to put a stop to this nonsense that is ruining America.”
President Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution. Until he takes that oath seriously the little usupers are going to keep up their BS.
Actually at this point, it is up to the do-nothing CONGRESS to slap down the judges who are out of their lanes-it is way too early for the supremes. Congress has at least 2 legal bats they can bash the rogue judges with-they need to get off their lazy asses and user one or both-I already called my congresscritter’s ofc to bitch-call yours...
Fire them all. Let them sue. Pay them off if need be, their damages are just their wages… less whatever job they get afterwards… but at least they’ll be gone.
Just asking for a friend. The Dems made sure all their thugs knew where the Supreme Court Justices lived, where their spouses worked and where their children went to school.
There were no consequences.
So, just wondering when some of these lower Court judges will enjoy the same treatment as our Supreme Court.
Judge _____________, appointed by RAT President __________, blocks President Trump from ________________.
Your point is a good one but l have no expectation whatsoever Congress will do anythimg.
What’s the count up to?
A bill has already passed the house. It will limit judges to their own jurisdiction. It is now in the Senate.
Supposedly a bill has been sent from the House to the Senate to rein in some of this.
The Senate has not taken it up.
